Small Chest

E. Boyd

National Gallery of Art

This painting features a musician playing an instrument. The figure is dressed in a red coat and black hat, surrounded by abstract floral elements against a blue background. The musician holds a stringed instrument. Above them is a round, dark shape with a keyhole pattern, with decorative patterns framing the scene. The style is reminiscent of Henri Rousseau, known for his naive artistic style and dreamlike compositions.
