About the Item
19th century French school, after Jacques-François Courtin (1672-1752), La joueuse de cithare, oil on canvas depicting a musical scene composed with elegance and balance.
At the center of the composition, a young woman in a white and blue dress, wearing a red feathered hat, sits and plays the zither. She is surrounded by three young boys: one lifts a richly ornamented curtain behind her, the second holds a recorder, and the third reads a score. All three seem attentive and absorbed by the musician's playing.
The decor, with its stylized architectural and plant backdrop, and the gilded curtain, reinforce the scene's gentle theatricality. The ensemble bears witness to a definite taste for refined genre painting, in the galant tradition of the 18th century.
This work is strongly inspired by a composition by Jacques-François Courtin, a painter of intimate scenes appreciated at the court of Louis XV for his delicate art of narration and graceful subjects.
