The image features two individuals depicted in a close-up view from the hips up. The person on the left is standing in profile, holding a large stringed instrument. The person on the right, also standing, is holding a conductor's baton and is positioned behind a music stand with sheets of music. The drawing is done in a sketchy style with bold, black strokes on a light background. The background is filled with cross-hatched shading, with a sketch of a leafy tree branch lightly drawn above them. No detailed facial features or intricate clothing patterns are provided.
