    Artist Painting a Portrait of a Musician (c.1790-1803). Marguerite Gérard (French, Romantic, 1761-1837). Gérard’s style featured painstakingly accurate details rendered with subtly blended brush strokes. Gérard’s work is not only technically impressive but also practical: these relatively small-scale, portable canvases were designed to appeal to wealthy collectors who preferred to display in their homes meticulously painted still lifes and genre scenes rather than large history paintings.
