Dame bij spinet 1798

"Dame bij spinet" (Lady at the Spinet) is a 1798 drawing by Dutch artist Abraham Delfos. The artwork depicts a young woman seated at a spinet, a type of small harpsichord popular in the 17th and 18th centuries. Her elegant attire and the musical score suggest the scene is set in a wealthy home. The drawing is characterized by detailed line work and delicate shading, typical of Delfos' style. This work provides a glimpse into the musical practices and social life of the Dutch aristocracy during the late 18th century.
