The child figure on left stands with left foot on a striped column-like cylinder, curly hair up in a bun in back, light purple drapery across left shoulder, right arm raised up, left hand holds up sheet music, revealing musical notes. The second figure straddles the cylinder while looking behind and up at the first figure and holds something rolled up in left hand. The third figure behind other two plays a small stringed instrument like a lute. Color is minimal accents such as rosy cheeks, red lips, brown hair lines, green leaves on the stand, and faint gold lines.
