The man depicted on the left side of the image is wearing a plaid three-piece suit and is playing the trumpet. A large drum is sitting on the floor directly behind him. Paul Brown and an unidentified woman are depicted on the right side of the image, in front of a piano. Brown is wearing a black tuxedo with a white bow tie. He is standing behind the woman with his proper left hand resting on her shoulder. The woman is wearing a long, light colored dress with puffed, elbow-length sleeves. The woman is holding a piece of paper in her proper left hand, while pointing towards it with her proper right hand. All three are looking at the piece of paper held by the woman. In the foreground are wooden chairs and tables covered in gingham tablecloths. The photographer's mark, printed in the negative, in the bottom left corner reads, [H. BatteLLe / N.Y.C.]. Over the woman’s dress is a handwritten inscription in black ink that reads, [proof]. In the center of the top border of the photograph is a second inscription in black ink that reads, [#2[?]]. There are no inscriptions on the back of the photograph.
