About the piece
This 1849 painting from the Metropolitan Museum of Art depicts a Tartar officer and a lady in a moment of shared musical performance. Seated atop a decorative rug and flanked by tea vessels and a small burner, the figures are rendered with delicate line work and a warm, earthy palette characteristic of mid-19th-century Asian genre scenes.
