THE DUET

"A man in elegant Louis XIII costume of gray and white satin, with long buff leather boots, is sitting on a bench tuning a lute, while a lady opposite him gives him the pitch with a tuning-fork. A greyhound lies at their feet. The background is composed of walls and towers of a great château, with a tree and some flowering vines. Very highlyfinished, well drawn,and quiet in color."
