H Beard Print Collection is a work by marco vestri, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows Pietro Nardini, an Italian violinist and composer, in a formal portrait. The artist used engraving to create the image, which is now part of the Harry Beard Collection. The sheet music he holds is marked for an Adagio in 3:4 time. That tiny detail makes you wonder what the music sounds like. Look next at vestri, marco.
