The painting depicts a violin hanging on a door with a music book. The violin is reddish-brown, oriented vertically, with its neck pointing upwards and its body facing forward. A light green music book is tucked behind the violin's upper body on the right side; the visible letters on the book read "VIOLIN" in black. To the right of the violin, a bow is hanging vertically. The background is a dark brown wooden door with visible vertical planks. There are two metal hinges on the left side and a small round keyhole on the right side. The title of the painting is "The Old Cremona" and the artist is John F. Peto.
