The image is an intricately detailed and elaborate engraving. It depicts three women and a child gathered around a man who is playing a guitar. The man, possibly a guitar teacher, is sitting while the others lean in closely to listen and observe. The woman directly behind the man wears a bonnet and leans forward with a gentle, engaging expression. Another woman, standing behind her, lightly rests her head on her shoulder, savoring the music. The third woman, seated next to the man with the guitar, appears serene and content. A child, standing in front of the man, reaches up, seemingly captivated by the guitar or the act of playing it.

The background is dark and simple, drawing focus to the detailed characters in the foreground. The figures are dressed in period clothing, indicating an historical or classical setting. The overall atmosphere is intimate and warm, emphasizing a shared appreciation for the music and perhaps the transmission of knowledge or culture through this guitar lesson.

The bottom of the engraving contains a dedication in French that translates to "Dedicated to His Excellency the Count of Harcourt" and titles the piece "The Guitar Master." This indicates that the image might have been dedicated to a noble or eminent patron.
