The painting shows a woman playing a drum. She's the main figure in the painting. The woman is dressed in old-fashioned clothes and the background is simple, which makes her stand out. The painting is interesting because it was likely part of a series of paintings in a palace. These paintings were built into the walls and usually showed one person. The painting is now at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
