Zoon van kapitein Erié met viool 1778

Louis Ducros's "Zoon van kapitein Erié met viool" (1778) is a watercolor drawing depicting a young boy, presumably the son of Captain Erié, playing the violin. The boy sits casually on a stone block, his relaxed posture and the simple background suggesting a snapshot of daily life. Ducros, a renowned artist specializing in watercolors, captures the delicate details of the subject's clothing, the violin, and the light reflecting on the stone with meticulous precision. This artwork offers a glimpse into the musical culture and daily life of the 18th century, as well as highlighting Ducros's talent for capturing everyday moments with lifelike detail.
