English Tea in the Salon Matted Print

This matted print features a painting, one of three known examples by Michel-Barthelemy Ollivier, of this famous scene from the Mozart family's Grand Tour, during their return to Paris in 1766. Seated at the keyboard, the ten-year-old Mozart plays for a getneel audience in the years before the French Revolution. He appears calm and composed. By that point he had already performed for royalty in several countries, published a dozen musical works, and given countless public performances. English Tea in the Salon des Quatre-Glaces at the Maison du Temple was painted in 1770 and remains in a private collection to this day.
