Il appliqua sur cette main un baiser que je sentis sur mon coeur

Nicolas Delaunay after Jean-Michel Moreau

National Gallery of Art

Three individuals are depicted in a room. Two women are standing close to each other at the center of the composition, while a third individual, possibly a man, is seated slightly to the right, leaning on a musical instrument. The woman to the left is shown in profile and wears an elaborate gown with voluminous skirts and intricate patterns, with styled hair. The woman to the right is also dressed in an elegant gown and styled hair. The seated individual rests their upper body on a harpsichord or piano with sheet music visible on a stand and a string instrument leaning against furniture. The decor includes heavy drapery and ornate furniture, suggesting luxury. The detailing and styling suggest a setting of affluence, with a focus on music and social interaction.
