Print shows a group of amateur musicians consisting of four elderly men grouped round a young woman who sits, full face, at a square piano lit by a guttering candle. A 'cellist is on her right, a vast gouty leg thrust forward, a violinist on her left. Behind her are two flautists. At left, a young officer and a girl flirt, hand in hand. In the background are visitors: two military officers shake hands, one bowing so that his sword lifts up the petticoats of a fat lady walking off to the right. In the foreground at right a dog howls with one paw on a music-book.
