Description
A Musical Company, circa 1668. Despite the calm demeanor and elegant disposition of the figures, this interior scene probably represents the interior of a brothel, signaled by the row of female portraits in the background, rarely found in other paintings of this period. The depiction of music provides another clue to the subject. The recorder and violin, played without scores, were perceived as cruder instrumentation and associated with prostitution, versus the elegant and complicated musicmaking seen in the work by Pieter de Hooch in our collection. Creator Maxime Lalanne (French, 1827-1886). (Photo by Heritage Arts/Heritage Images via Getty Images)
