In this watercolour Arosenius offers up another example of his humorous interpretation of real or quasi-real events. The red nosed Master Sergeant plays his flugelhorn to the audience of a solitary beer-bottle. It is probably the day after the concert.
Slottsskogen park in Gothenburg still hosts concerts to this day.
