This painting shows a stage with a red curtain and a backdrop of a city street. Two men are standing in the center of the stage, one in a blue military uniform and the other in a brown coat. The stage is decorated with gold accents and statues. The scene is set in a theater, with the audience visible in the balconies on either side of the stage. The atmosphere appears to be lively, with the two men engaged in conversation. The painting is a genre scene, depicting a moment in everyday life. It is held at the Statens Museum for Kunst.
