Two men and a child are depicted in the image. One man gestures towards a pile of papers and books, with an open mouth. The other man wears a tall hat and stands with his back to the viewer. The child, wearing a cap and dark clothing, points upwards towards the pile. The background contains a bookcase full of items, including musical instruments, books, and loose pages. The wall displays the text "L'UNIVERS MUSICAL."
