The image shows two individuals engaged in an exchange. The person on the left is standing and holding a lyre, presenting it to the person on the right. This individual appears to have curly hair and a classical visage. They are dressed in a tunic with detailed draping and sandals. The person on the right is facing the first individual, holding a stringed instrument and dressed differently. This individual has unkempt hair and a beard, wearing a tall hat and a long coat with visible patches. They appear to have additional clothing items slung over their arm. The background features classical architecture, including a large domed building and columns. The ground appears textured, with lines indicating a paved street setting.
