The harp is positioned to her left, and a table with a vase of flowers is on the opposite side. The background features a dark wall with a painting and a curtain. The woman's posture suggests she is in the midst of playing the harp, with her right hand placed on the strings. The overall atmosphere appears serene, with soft lighting illuminating the scene. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject.
