This work, also known by its catalog numbers Bartsch 119 and H. 142, showcases Rembrandt's mastery in capturing the essence of everyday life and his exceptional skill in the medium of etching. The piece depicts a group of itinerant musicians, a common sight in 17th-century Europe, engaged in a performance, likely moving from town to town to entertain local populations and earn their livelihood.

Measuring approximately 142 by 83 mm, the etching is characterized by its intricate detail and the interplay of light and shadow, a hallmark of Rembrandt's work.

The figures are rendered with a sense of individuality and character, each contributing to the narrative of the scene.
