music-making women is a 1590 oil by Domenico Tintoretto, a Mannerism work, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
This painting depicts a group of women engaged in music-making. The women are nude, with one sitting on a harp and another holding a stringed instrument. A third woman is shown writing on a sheet of paper, while a fourth is standing and looking at the paper. The scene is set in a natural environment, with trees and bushes visible in the background. The painting is characterized by its use of warm colors, with the women's skin tones and the instruments depicted in shades of brown and gold. The background is a deep blue, which contrasts with the warm tones of the foreground. The painting is a beautiful example of Renaissance art, and its use of chiaroscuro and glazing techniques adds depth and texture to the scene.
