Description: | This affectionate picture of a group of musicians practicing in a farmhouse was Hodgson's Royal Academy exhibit for 1860. Portrayals of the 'rustic simplicity' of country life were immensely popular with Victorian audiences, who preferred pictures of contented country folk to the realities of rural deprivation. Hodgson was a member of the St John's Wood Clique, a group of artists who met in St John's Wood, London, to exchange ideas. Their work typified middle-class Victorian taste.
