Innocence & Music, First Lesson in Music Old Times キャンバスプリント

"First Lesson in Music" (ca. 1861–1897) by L. Lubrichon, lithographed by W. Harring, presents a charming and educational moment between two young girls. The scene depicts an older girl gently placing a musical instrument to the lips of a smaller girl, as if introducing her to the world of music and her first music lesson. The younger girl stands with a sense of curiosity and excitement, ready to begin her musical journey. This piece captures the innocence and enthusiasm of childhood, as well as the nurturing guidance from the older sister. The artwork, published by L. Prang & Co., reflects the 19th-century American style of portraying the purity and joy of youth, while also emphasizing the importance of learning and discovery.
