"A Chorus of Singers," a satirical engraving by Dent, created between 1790 and 1810, depicts a group of singers during a performance. The artwork humorously portrays the exaggerated expressions and postures of the singers as they passionately deliver their musical performance. The inclusion of sheet music and the title "JUDITH ORATORIA" suggests a musical or theatrical setting. The image provides a glimpse into the cultural scene of the late 18th century and is a humorous commentary on the world of music.
