The artwork titled “Making Music” is a portrait created by the artist Edward Robert Hughes, who was affiliated with the Romanticism art movement. This particular work captures the essence of the Romantic period through its soft portrayal and warm tones.
In the artwork, a woman with flowing, voluminous auburn hair is depicted in profile, engrossed in playing a harp. The delicate lighting accentuates her serene expression and the detailed texture of her cascading hair. The background is rendered in muted tones which juxtapose beautifully against the vibrant hues of her hair and the gentle glow of her skin. The overall composition evokes a sense of tranquility and introspection, characteristic of Romanticism’s focus on emotion and individual experience.
