The light filtering through the window highlights the figures and their expressions. The painting is executed in oil on canvas, showcasing Sorolla's characteristic brushwork. The play of light and shadow is evident, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the figures. The composition is balanced, with the women positioned thoughtfully in relation to the guitarist.
