Musicerend gezelschap 1739 - 1797

"Les Musiciens" (The Musicians) is a 1739-1797 etching by French artist Pierre François Basan. The artwork is a depiction of three figures seated in a dimly lit tavern, with one of them playing a violin. The print is a fine example of Basan's work, which often featured genre scenes with a focus on everyday life. The composition, with its intimate portrayal of music-making in a common setting, highlights the human connection and shared joy of music. "Les Musiciens" is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
