Music 1731 - 1765

"La Musique" (1731 - 1765) is an etching by Louis Félix de La Rue, a French artist. This artwork depicts two cherubs on a cloud, one playing a flute and the other strumming a lyre while looking at a sheet of music. The cherubs are surrounded by musical instruments such as a tambourine, a flute, and a scroll. The artist's signature is present at the bottom left, and the title, "La Musique," is at the bottom center of the etching. This artwork is a beautiful representation of the beauty and joy of music, and is a testament to the skill and talent of De La Rue as a printmaker. The piece is a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
