Cover for Sheet Music c. 19th century

This lithograph, created by Célestin Nanteuil in the 19th century, is a cover for sheet music. The artwork depicts a portrait of a young man in the center, surrounded by a scenic rural landscape. The man is dressed in a jacket and a scarf, with his hand on a hat. In the foreground, figures are positioned around a stream, possibly suggesting the theme of the musical piece. This print, part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, is a charming example of 19th-century graphic art and its connection to music.
