About the piece

Painted in 1752 by Venetian master Pietro Longhi, this scene depicts an intimate family gathering centered around music. Known for his keen observations of Venetian life, Longhi captures the textures of the silk gowns and the warm, candlelit atmosphere of a private salon with characteristic Rococo charm.
