Amateurs parisiens profitant du séjour de Rossini is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, depicting sheet music, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows three Parisians singing together in a room. One woman plays piano while two men stand beside her. All wear fancy clothes, mid-song. Daumier loved drawing musicians and everyday life. He made this while Rossini stayed in Paris in 1852. The artist catches a real moment, not a stiff portrait. Check out more Daumier at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
