From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
O Sing Again that Simple Song is a 1862 by George Louis Palmella Busson Du Maurier, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows a woman in a long, flowing dress playing a harp. She’s sitting on a chair with one foot on the floor, her hands moving over the strings. The room around her is dark, with a door and a small table visible in the background. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show light and shadow, giving the scene a lively but slightly ghostly feel. This style was popular in the mid-1800s.
