One figure appears to be playing a sitar, a stringed instrument, while the other figure is positioned beneath, seemingly listening or accompanying. The figures are rendered in a stylized manner, with flowing lines and simplified forms. The painting is rich in color, utilizing warm tones of red, orange, and yellow in the background, which transition to cooler blues and purples in the foreground.

The artwork is framed in a textured, metallic frame, complementing the warm tones of the painting.
