A street in an old European town with two- and three-story 19th-century buildings on both sides and a cobblestone pavement. A cloudy day without rain. In the foreground, a 60-year-old man stands by the house wall, dressed in an old, worn-out greatcoat without insignia from the 19th century and worn boots. The man's unkempt shoulder-length hair with gray streaks and trimmed beard, his squinty eyes stare off into the distance absentmindedly. Wrinkles on the face of a man who has reached old age and experienced many events. A barrel organ hangs from a worn leather strap over his shoulder, and he plays it, turning the crank with his calloused hand. In the central part of the barrel organ, in an arched compartment, a miniature, graceful figure of a dancer in white twirls. On the left and right sides of the dancer, in the arched slots of the music box, are images of puppet theater characters. Next to the man, turned toward him, sits a small, shaggy, scruffy-looking stray dog, plaintively howling along with the sounds of the barrel organ. In front of the man, with his back to us, stands a boy wearing a large worn cap and clothes from the second half of the 19th century, which children from poor families wore at the time, in a size bigger than his. The boy is looking at a barrel organ. In the background, a man is walking down the street arm in arm with a woman; they are wearing hats and European clothing of the second half of the 19th century, walking away from us with their backs turned.
A hyperrealistic detailed painting shows an old man, a street organ grinder, playing his instrument on a cobblestone street, next to a brick building. He has long gray hair and a beard, wearing a dark green coat, black pants, and brown boots. The organ is a wooden barrel with a golden handle on the side, and a window in the middle shows a ballerina dancing in a white tutu. Two other figures are on the sides of the ballerina. A scruffy mixed-breed dog with shaggy brown and gray fur sits in front of the organ, barking. A young boy in an old worn hat and clothes stands facing the organ, watching the performance. In the background, a couple walks away down the foggy street, and old stucco buildings line the street under a cloudy sky.
