The Attractions of Music
The Attractions of Music by unknown artist: A framed painting depicts a man sitting cross-legged on a pink rug with a tan outfit, playing a stringed instrument. He sits surrounded by people, various animals including leopards, deer, a boar, and a blue-gray rat; and white birds. The man and some of the people and animals face towards him. Two trees are behind the man. The painting is surrounded by a gold and peach border, and then a navy-blue border with gold floral designs. There are white and red stripes to the left and right of the painting.
