A lady alligator dressed in a gown stands rather humbly in front of a harpsichord as though addressing an audience. The caption reads: "I am precise and I am clear."

The alligator's harpsichord bears the name of Mark Adler, an early keyboard maker based in Maryland.

This delightful caricature is a printed illustration by Clinton Arrowood from Donald Elliott's book Alligators and Music. The drawing is dedicated to the noted harpsichordist, organist, and church musician Lloyd Bowers (see near harpsichord stool).
