Attributes of Music
by CHARDIN, Jean-Baptiste-Siméon, Oil on canvas, 91 x 145 cm
This overdoor painting - together with the Attributes of Art (Louvre) and Attributes of Sciences (untraced) - was commissioned for the royal château of Choisy. This emblematic canvas has a sense of composition that would impress the cubists.
