The image depicts an interior scene of a well-furnished room from a past era. Two figures are centrally positioned; one is seated on an elegant armchair, while the other stands directly behind this chair. Both are dressed in garments reminiscent of 18th to the 19th-century fashion, with flowing dresses, fitted bodices, and the standing figure wears a bonnet. The seated figure appears to be holding an object, possibly a piece of fabric or an accessory, in their lap. A small spaniel dog is sitting on the patterned floor, gazing upwards towards the figures. An unoccupied dark wooden chair with a guitar leaning against it is positioned to the side, suggesting a recently vacated or soon-to-be-used space. Heavy drapery hangs beside a large, light-emitting window, and a significant, though simplistic, frame hangs on the rear wall. The overall impression is one of a quiet, intimate moment within a domestic setting. The print is titled "L'AVEU DIFFICILE" which translates to "The Difficult Admission" or "The Difficult Confession," insinuating a narrative context to the depicted scene.

The scene takes place in an ornate interior setting, with curtains, furniture, and other decorative elements visible. The overall tone and composition of the image suggests a period drama or narrative scene.
