Three Young Musicians
by LE NAIN, Matthieu, Oil on panel, 27 x 34 cm
The representation of a group of children is frequent in the work of the Le Nain brothers. These small-format paintings depict children singing or playing, arranged in simple compositions such as the present one. Here the figures are all standing, arranged almost in a straight line.
