Interior scene showing a boy and girl at a piano and a boy standing near a multi-colored floral print tablecloth upon which sits a basket of fruit. Above him, a parrot stands in a ring, holding a grape in its talons. In the background are hills and foliage. The girl sits at the piano, her hands on the keyboard. She wears a lace-trimmed, black dress with a scoop neck and three-quarter length sleeves. The boy stands at her side, turning pages. He wears a brown jacket and vest, a white shirt with a shawl collar, a black bow tie, and green pants. The younger boy standing alone at the right wears a brown coat, a white shirt with a shawl collar, and a black bow tie. He rests his left arm on the table.
