About the piece
Painted in 1915 by Ernest Victor Boudet, this Impressionist work captures a poignant moment of respite during World War I. The scene depicts a musical performance for wounded soldiers and staff in the grand courtyard of the Val-de-Grâce military hospital in Paris, rendered with loose brushstrokes and a soft, luminous palette.
