The painting depicts a young man and woman indoors. The man, on the left, wears a brown suit with a blue bowtie and plays a flute. He sits on a piece of furniture with his right leg bent. The woman, on the right, wears a long dress with a white blouse. She holds a similar flute to the man's and appears to be learning to play it. A large harp stands to her right. The background features a red wall with a diamond pattern and several framed pictures. A green curtain hangs to the left. The floor has a red patterned rug with a smaller black and red rug on top. There is a plant on a gold stand to the far left.
