show object description A city street at night illuminated by a gas street-lamp and covered by a thin layer of snow that shows footprints. The street-lamp is on the left side, and big buildings and a wrought-iron fence are on the right and in the background. A middle-aged policeman, dressed in an ulster, top hat, boots and with sideburns stands next to the lamp in the foreground watching three men cheerfully singing and walking on the street. They walk next to each other with their arms linked. They are wearing top hats and coats, and the one on the right is swinging a walking stick. A boy is walking on the pavement in front of the fence on the right.
