The boy lies on his front across the yellow cushion, head lifted and bent legs raised behind him. The open score is spread before him, the pages filled with staves and notation. His suit is pale blue with a gold line along the collar and cuffs, a turned-down collar at the neck and brown shoes below. The hair falls in loose curls and his eyes stay on the page. The cushion matches the companion figure — yellow, printed with small blue flowers, outlined in gold.
