The auction's painting depicts a room in shades of blue and black, where a man sits on a three-legged chair playing an instrument with a brick-red top. He is dressed in rust red with hints of green, and his face has a distinct green tone. In the lower right corner, part of a reddish-brown tabletop is visible. At the top of the painting is a window through which a landscape can be glimpsed – dark blue, blue-white and green with rust-coloured patches – all in twilight.
On the back of the painting is a still life. Against a yellow-grey background lies a brown pipe with a blue stem next to a yellow-brown carafe casting its shadow to the right. This painting is signed in the upper right corner, somewhat indistinctly: Åke Göran.
