About the piece
Painted around 1625 by French artist Nicolas Tournier, this work exemplifies the influence of Caravaggio through its sharp contrasts of light and shadow. The composition features five figures in a dark interior, engaged in music and conversation around a sparsely set table, creating a sense of intimate theatricality.
