Description: | Signed: yes Description: The painting depicts the interior of a drawing room. On the left is a young woman dressed in crimson and white, holding a lute. Behind her is an older man dressed in gold and black, the music master. His left hand is pointing to a position on the page of some sheet music propped up on a table to the left. His right hand is raised in the gesture familiar to all music students, as he counts out the beat for his pupil. Both characters appear to be dressed in a stylised version of seventeenth-century costume, a type of historical genre popular in the nineteenth century. | Subjects: | interior; everyday life; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Mouchot, Louis Claude (French painter, 1830-1891) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8676... | Go to resource |
