This painting shows a chubby, naked child holding a large violin and bow. The child is sitting on a decorative chair, and the violin is almost as big as they are. The child's curly hair is visible, and they seem to be playing the violin. The painting has a dark background, which makes the child and the violin stand out. The child's body is smooth and rounded, and their facial expression is calm. The violin and bow are detailed, with visible strings and a scroll at the top of the violin. The artist who created this painting is Gaudenzio Ferrari.
