About this work
Two scenes on one sheet. Above: a woman rests on a chaise with her dog. The other leans against it. They are dressed in contemporary clothing. Below: two French noblemen in contemporary clothing. One plays the cello, which he supports on a stool, and looks at the sheet music on his stand. The other holds a hat in his hand.
