In the space of a few square centimeters the refined painting stages the small domestic concert held by two young women (one, in the background, at the piano, the other caught in the emphasis of singing): perhaps the Laskaraki sisters, one of whom , Lola, Boldini was bound by a tender relationship and to which he dedicates the operina in the inscription on the back. The bourgeois interior depicted is probably the house of Cristiano Banti, painter and patron of the Macchiaioli of whom the young Boldini was assiduous, who had two versions, considerably larger, of the same subject, also by Boldini.
