A horizontally oriented print depicts a child with a light skin tone seated and leaning over a triangular stringed instrument. Their curly hair and patterned shirt are outlined in dark ink. The child's eyes are downcast as their hands rest on the strings. One foot extends toward us while the other points right. Grainy, stippled textures and fine lines shade the child's form, which is brightly illuminated against a dark background.
