20 X 24 The Banjo Player Painted In 1856 By William Sidney Mount Is A Unique Crossover Piece As It Combines Two Types Of Paintings That The Artist Was Best Known For Portraitsand Genrepaintings. Mount Had A Strong Interest In Music As He Was Not Only A Composer And Musician But He Also Designed A Musical Instrument. This Piece Is Part Of A Grouping Consistingof Three Paintings Total Commissionedby William Schaus For The Firm Of Goupil & Company.There Has Been Some Speculation On The Identity Of The Sitter Who May Have Been George Freeman.In His Diary Mount Mentions That I Painted The Banjo Player In Eight Days (16 Sittings) Two Sittings A Day.The Paintings In This Group Highlight Just How Skilled Mount Was Even Without Receivingformal Training. Today The Original Is Housed In The Museum Of Fine Arts In Boston But Our Reproduction Offers The Same Warm Feeling. Youll Practically Hear The Music With The Life-Like Attention To Detail.
