George Louis Palmella Busson Du Maurier
1862
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
A Kettledrum in Mayfair is a 1862 by George Louis Palmella Busson Du Maurier, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows three people in a cluttered room. Two men in top hats stand near a door, looking at a woman who’s holding a kettledrum. The woman is bent over, adjusting the drum while the men watch. The background has a rough drawing of a painting with a woman and a child. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and life. The scene looks like it’s from everyday life, not a fancy moment. The drawing feels lively but not polished.
