The image shows three caricatured figures in a music lesson scene. The central figure is sitting with a horn instrument, wearing a hat and traditional Chinese clothing. To the right, another figure with a bald head and braid is visible. A third figure is partially seen on the left with a surprised expression. The background is a textured, shaded wall, and the scene is illustrated in monochrome with a French caption at the bottom.
