Description

A casually dressed young woman sits on a wide stool playing a large harp, both hands on the strings. A young man sits behind her on the same stool, merrily lifting his wineglass in his left hand and strumming the harp with his right. Both are in high spirits. To their right is a table with decorative golden legs on which sits some fruit and wine glasses. On the floor is a book and a cello, which the woman appears to be stepping on.
