View of a balcony at the music hall (said to be in the Old Bedford although Royal Academy catalogue of 1992 asserts that it is the Middlesex Music Hall in Drury Lane). The bottom of the picture shows a balcony decorated at the bottom with gilt plaster garlands. Above this are railings with two tiers of people behind them looking down and waving their arms in the air. There are boys wearing caps, and a man in a boater. The faces are lit up from below by the stage lights, and the top of the picture shows the theatre ceiling.
