A vertically oriented color lithograph in warm pink, reddish-orange, and pale yellow depicts a dense crowd of figures. On our left, one figure stands with arms raised. In the center, numerous faces and bodies overlap amidst soft, mottled textures, including a prominent nude form toward the top. To our right, stringed instruments resembling violins rest near the edge. The blurred, dreamlike composition obscures outlines, creating a hazy, atmospheric scene.
