DescriptionThree male and one female mannequins in eighteenth-century court dress are posed in front of a tall folding screen with gilt decorations, on a stage or in a store window. One man is playing a harpsichord. The woman is gesturing and appears to be singing. The other two men are seated in rococo furniture at the left. All appear to be wearing wigs. A large vase of flowers is in the left background.
NotesSubject Note: The setting seems too deep for a store window display, so this group probably was on view elsewhere in the G. Fox department store.Status
