Description
Photograph of the painting "Fair Musician" by Le Roux, depicting a woman with a lute, [s.d.]. The woman is shown at center in a toga and bead necklace that seems to allude to the 'flapper' style of the 1920's. Her left leg is raised, and she rests the body of the lute on her thigh and her free hand on her hip. Her hair is dark and blends in with the background, while her eyes are so heavily shadowed that her pupils cannot be seen. She smiles.
