Laurent Dabos's contemporaries

Artist: Laurent Dabos, Sitter: Thomas Paine, Current owner: National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution
Princess and attendant in trompe l’oeil window, by Aqil Khan, c. 1765
This is a painting of a group engaged in a music session, all looking towards a large open music book in a grand, architectural setting. Behind the group are tall, ornate columns and an arched background that opens up to show a cloudy blue sky. Most of the people have open mouths as if they are singing, while one man in the back seems to be conducting, holding a up roll of paper. Some of the people in the group are seated in cushioned wooden chairs, and a yellowish cloth is draped over the surface that the large book rests on. There is a string instrument similar to a cello near the bottom left corner. The colors used are rich, earthy browns, yellows, and reds, with elements of blue and white clothing. All of the people have pale skin, and two have long white mustaches.
A work made of color woodblock print.
