The image displays a single staff in 4/4 time signature, with four beats per measure labeled “Count: 1 2 3 4” above each bar. It visually compares three note durations: two black-filled quarter notes (each lasting one beat), one open half note (two beats), and one open whole note (four beats). Red annotations clearly label each note type for educational clarity.
