The image shows a person seated on a cushioned surface, holding a lyre. The person has soft features, curly hair, and is looking directly at the viewer. They are not wearing clothing and are surrounded by decorative architectural elements. A stringed instrument resembling a violin or viola is to the left of the person. The background is textured and shaded in a classical etching style.
