About the piece
Painted by Godfried Schalcken around 1670, this masterful Dutch Golden Age work depicts a family concert. The composition is framed by deep red curtains, drawing the eye to the delicately illuminated faces and the intricate textures of silk and lace as the group shares a moment of musical harmony.
