Musician among children is a 1794 oil by Martin Drolling, a Neoclassicism work, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting depicts a lively scene of a musician surrounded by children. The musician, dressed in a dark coat and hat, holds a stringed instrument and appears to be playing it. The children, all dressed in period clothing, gather around him with interest. One child holds a tambourine, while another looks up at the musician with a smile. The scene is set against a warm, beige background, which suggests an indoor setting. The overall atmosphere is one of joy and music, capturing a moment of connection between the musician and the children.
