The image shows two people in a room. One person is seated on a step, facing the other person who is seated in a chair by a doorway. The man holds a stringed instrument and a dog sits beside him. The woman is looking down at a piece of paper she holds. The room has an ornate doorway with plants or vines along the sides.
