A woman stands in the middle of a paved square, playing the violin. She is wearing a black sleeveless dress. Her violin is resting on her shoulder, and she is holding the bow in her right hand, moving it across the strings. Her left hand is on the fingerboard, adjusting the notes. A violin case lies open at her feet on the ground, containing some money and what appears to be a small straw hat. She is barefoot, wearing sandals on her feet. She appears to be smiling as she plays. The background shows a building with multiple windows and a tree with green leaves on the left side. Cars are parked in the background, and a few people are seated on a low wall to the left of the frame. The scene is lit by what appears to be late afternoon or early evening sunlight.
