About the piece
Painted by Auguste Dutuit around 1860, this work depicts a priest teaching two young choirboys from a large music book. The warm, focused lighting highlights the boys' attentive expressions and the rich textures of their vestments against the shadowed, detailed interior of the sacristy.
