About the piece
Painted in 1847 by William Sidney Mount, this masterpiece of American genre painting depicts a moment of shared concentration. While three figures gather in the shaded interior of a barn to hear a fiddler, a laborer pauses his work outside the door, his pensive posture highlighting the magnetic pull of the music. The work is renowned for its sophisticated lighting and its nuanced observation of American life in the mid-1800s.
