    Portrait Of Flutist François Devienne (1792)

    Jacques Louis David (French, 1748–1825)

    A young flutist leans forward, fingers poised above the instrument. His powdered wig and velvet coat contrast with the intensity in his eyes—not just a musician, but a man caught mid-thought, about to play or speak. The folds of his cravat seem to tremble with unspent breath.
