Spinet

Johannes Gottlob Clemm

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a spinet. The spinet, by Johannes Gottlob Clemm, has a light-colored wood body and legs. The spinet is angled, with the front-left corner closer to the viewer. The spinet's top surface is flat and long, sloping downward toward the back. The front of the spinet has a curved edge. The keyboard, with 57 keys, is visible, and there is an inscription above it. The spinet has four turned legs. The two front legs are connected by a stretcher, as are the two back legs. The spinet sits on a white background. The image is bordered in black.
