Clavichord 1763

This clavichord, created by Christian Kintzing in 1763, is a fine example of 18th-century craftsmanship. The instrument's case is elaborately decorated with intricate carvings and a painted scene depicting a group of people in a landscape. The clavichord, a small keyboard instrument, was popular in the 18th century for its intimate sound and portability. This particular example, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the skill and artistry of its maker.
