Appreciation of the work Leighton depicts the scene of music class with an extremely rigorous academic attitude. The female teacher leaned slightly to help the girl adjust the strings, while the girl leaned on the female teacher's chest and strummed the six-stringed piano. This is just an ordinary music class scene, but it was painted with great beauty by the artist. The female teacher has a beautiful face and is wearing a long skirt. The patterns and textures are painted very realistically by the painter; the little girl is portrayed as innocent, innocent and serious in expression, making her look very cute. The depiction of clothes, faces and backgrounds all reflect an academic style, but there is an inherent richness to this work.
