The image shows four figures in an illustrative style. In the foreground on the left, a young boy is depicted wearing a jacket, trousers, and a cap, and looking towards the musicians. Standing next to him is a man wearing a top hat, holding a spoon in his right hand. This man is behind a large drum, which he appears to be playing. Next to the drummer, another man is shown in profile, wearing a flat cap and a jacket, with his arms wrapped around the drum. On the right, a third man is shown playing a wind instrument, wearing a cap, a jacket, and trousers. His facial features include a prominent nose and a focused expression. The background illustrates a street setting, with cobblestone paving and the faint outline of a building. A caption at the bottom of the image reads "Les Musiciens de Paris" at the top.
