The painting depicts a man sitting on a barrel, wearing a top hat and a long coat. He holds a puppet on strings in his right hand, while his left hand grasps the strings. The puppet is dressed in a blue military uniform with gold accents and a white sash. In the background, there is a sign with the words "ABY MANDEL SZEDŁ" written on it, along with a crown above the text. To the right of the sign, a ship's mast and rigging are visible. The man's attire and the puppet's uniform suggest a sense of formality and elegance. The puppet's military uniform adds a touch of whimsy to the scene.
