About this work

The painting shows a group of people singing together. It's an old print, probably from 1732. The scene is called "A Chorus of Singers" and it's interesting because it gives us a glimpse into what music was like back then, with people gathering to sing in a casual setting, which was a common activity at the time. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Hogarth, William.
