Español: La lección de música

Una mujer con un vestido amarillo y una toca blanca está de pie junto a una mesa sosteniendo un instrumento parecido a un violín, mientras un hombre sentado con capa oscura toca un laúd a su lado. Un perro pequeño descansa sobre una silla tapizada de verde, y un mapa enmarcado cuelga de la pared gris detrás de ellos.
