This drawing shows two figures—one kneeling, holding a harp, and another sitting, holding sheet music. Both have simple, rounded faces and soft outlines. The background is plain, focusing all attention on their shapes and the music. The kneeling figure has wings, which suggests they might be an angel. The sheet music looks like real notes, adding a quiet detail that makes the scene feel personal. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this drawing in person.
