Frontispiece: Dictionnaire de musique is a 1779 ink by Jean-Michel the Younger Moreau, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a woman sitting on a rock, playing a harp. Behind her, a peaceful landscape has trees, a small temple, and two people tending sheep. The scene looks calm, with soft lines and gentle shading. The woman’s harp rests on a decorated stand with tiny carved figures. The artist used fine lines to create texture, like the folds in her dress or the leaves on the trees. Look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how prints like this were made.
Jean-Michel the Younger Moreau (1766–1766) was an artist.
