Figurative Art
 
Leighton had visited Damascus in 1873, and the fabrics and the architectural setting in Music Lesson probably derive from that trip. The stringed instrument is a Turkish saz. The two girls , depicted in Music Lesson are however European, and the younger one is Connie Gilchrist (1865-1946), a celebrated child dancer and pantomime artiste noted for her beautiful hair, who also modelled for Whistler and Frank Holl among other painters. Lewis Carroll took her to see the Royal Academy exhibition in 1877, and recorded in his diary that she had enjoyed seeing herself in Leightons pictures. Later she became a popular actress, but gave up the stage in 1892 when she married the Earl of Orkney.

Beautiful item ! exactly the way it was pictured and it is even more impressive than any picture posted. You really cannot appreciate this without seeing it in person. The paint literally leaps off the canvas and provides a very dynamic experience.
