Location: National Gallery of Art, London

About Artwork: (About 1710) "It is difficult to identify the musicians gathered here with certainty. The man standing on the right is probably the flautist and composer Michel de La Barre, who was a member of the French Académie de Musique – the music depicted is an exact copy of his trio sonatas for flute and bass published in 1707. The bass viol player is probably Marin Marais, while the identity of the two flute-players is less certain. Based on their ages, they are most likely to be Pierre Danican Philidor and his cousin Anne Danican Philidor (Anne used as a man’s name). However, it is also possible that they are Philibert Rebille and Rene Pignon Descoteaux who played in the king’s ensemble with Michel de La Barre. The standing figure on the left may be a posthumous portrait of Jacques II Danican Philidor, or a self-portrait by the artist. The costumes suggest that the picture was probably painted around 1710." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
