The scene depicts a young flute player in eighteenth-century costume, a ribbon-trimmed tricorn hat, red coat, and white stockings, standing beside a seated young woman who holds a small dog on a leash.

The composition, palette, and rendering of the costumes are consistent with French genre painting of the 18th century, within the Rococo tradition associated with Boucher and Lancret.
