About the piece
Painted around 1750 by Melchior Brassauw, this oil on panel work captures a refined 'musical company' in a stately architectural setting. The composition masterfully balances figures engaged in song and conversation, highlighted by the luminous silk of the central woman's gown and the rich textures of the instruments.
