EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to 17th century France. The image features a lute player and his enchanting wife, creating an intriguing scene that is both playful and intimate. The focal point of the composition is the lute player himself, who sits upside down on a chair, engrossed in his music. His skillful fingers delicately pluck at the strings of his instrument, producing melodic notes that fill the air. Behind him stands his beautiful wife, adorned with a low neckline dress and exquisite pearl necklace and earrings. She lovingly caresses her husband's hair as he plays, showcasing their deep connection. The couple's attire reflects the fashion trends of their time. The woman wears a collar neck-gear along with sleeves and a necklace that accentuate her elegance. Her husband dons a doublet for his upper body clothing while sporting trousers or breeches below. It is fascinating to note that this piece showcases not only traditional lutes but also special forms such as theorbo - highlighting the diversity within musical instruments during this period. Michel Lasne, mentioned on the object itself, was likely responsible for capturing this mesmerizing moment through etching on paper. With dimensions measuring approximately 190 mm in height by 128 mm in width, this print offers us an intimate glimpse into love and music during one of history's most vibrant eras.
