This is a painting of an early gramophone design. The painting shows a vintage gramophone with a large, flaring black horn attached to a wooden base. Two circular disks, likely representing records, are connected by a belt system.

The base is inscribed with "United States Gramophone Co.," and the painting has a noted U.S. patent date of Nov. 8, 1887.
