This is a drawing of a woman with a harp next to a man, set against an ocean backdrop and a sky filled with cupids. The drawing depicts a scene where a seated figure is positioned to the left. On the right, a standing figure with outstretched arms stands beside a harp featuring a bearded face at the top. The ocean waves in the background add a dynamic element to the scene, while the sky is filled with numerous tiny figures.
