The ladies, one of whom has a musical score on her lap, listen with attention to the gentleman's pipe playing. The two side vignettes depict vases of summer flowers, which are repeated in the reserves, The leaf is further embellished with gold painted classical designs and the addition of tiny gold sequins. The verso is plain save for simple painted flowers. The monture is attractively decorated with various figures to the upper guards and gorge, with splashes of colour on their clothes
