This painting shows a woman and a boy in a room. The woman is wearing a big dress and a hat with a bow. She is standing behind a table with papers on it. The boy is sitting on a chair, looking at the papers. There is a guitar leaning on the chair. The woman is pointing at something on the papers. The boy looks curious. The room has a fireplace and a big piece of furniture behind the woman. There are some objects on top of the furniture. This painting reminds me of the Romanticism movement.
