The sketch shows a person playing a wind instrument such as a flute. The person is depicted from a side view, with one arm raised to hold the instrument near the mouth. The figure has short, wavy hair pulled back and is dressed in a long, flowing garment. Surrounding the person are four lions seated in a semi-circle, looking towards the musician. The lions have detailed facial features and prominent manes. The background features a natural setting with outlines of trees and foliage.
