Le concert is a 1774 ink by Antoine-Jean Duclos, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This room is packed with people in fancy clothes, all watching a small group play music. The walls are decorated with heavy curtains and tall windows letting in light. Some sit on chairs, others stand or lean against the walls, while musicians play instruments like a harp and a keyboard. Notice the woman in the center—she’s lying down, listening intently. The room looks grand but cozy, like a private gathering rather than a big event. Want to know more? Check out etching, drypoint, aquatint.
