Small Violin 1804 - 1824

"Small Violin" is a string instrument created by French luthier François Nicolas Fourrier between 1804 and 1824. The violin, made of wood and with a dark varnish, is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It features the classic violin silhouette with a rounded body and a long neck. This instrument is a fine example of French violin making during the early 19th century and a testament to the craftmanship of François Nicolas Fourrier.
