A man in traditional Albanian dress is playing a tupan, a large drum, in a public square paved with gray bricks. He is smiling, holding a drumstick in his right hand and the edge of the tupan with his left, ready to play. The drum is attached to his body with straps. Behind him is a modern, bronze-colored sculpture of twisting, flame-like shapes. The square is surrounded by buildings, including a cafe with tables and chairs. A white van with "Rentals" written on it is parked in the background. The scene takes place outdoors during the day, as implied by the natural lighting.
