About the piece
Painted in 1874, 'La Musique' demonstrates Mary Cassatt's early interest in social intimacy and the interplay of light on fabric and skin. The composition features a woman in a floral gown playing a lute, her face and pearl necklace glowing against a deep, atmospheric background as two companions lean in to observe the performance.
