The image shows a person resting their elbows on top of a large string instrument, likely a double bass. The person has prominent facial features, including a nose and a moustache, short hair, and is wearing a hat with a slightly tilted brim. They are dressed in a long coat, loose pants, and scuffed shoes, standing on a tiled or paved surface. Beside them is a sign on a wooden wall that reads, "NOTICE To whom it may Concern This work was designed and etched in N.Y.C. 1939 BY BOLT." The background consists of a wooden fence-like structure.
