Victorian Postcard — Violinist Serenading a Lady at the Harpsichord

A Victorian chromolithograph postcard capturing an intimate music lesson: a young violinist in a moss-green striped frock coat leans over an ornate harpsichord to present sheet music to an elegant lady in a pale blue gown, her hair pinned with ribbon as she plays.

It's a graceful Rococo courtship scene from the 19th-century postcard tradition, and the half-finished duet on the music stand makes it a natural choice to send to a friend who plays an instrument.
