Description
On the banks of a pond, a woman is playing the cello. One of her companions is singing beside her while the other is lying on the grass listening to them. The faces of these young women are barely outlined, as if it were the music itself that the painter wished to depict. This painting is one of the last acquired by the Duke of Aumale, who said he liked paintings to tell him a story.
