This museum is so big and so much that I could use a whole memory card with photos of violins. It is interesting to me that the violins have not changed much. The bows are different (this bow looks more like a bow & arrow kind of bow). The chin rest is a somewhat new invention and the shoulder rest is very modern (both are missing in this painting).

I’ve been to the Louvre three times. It is hard to figure out how to connect with all the hype and the crowds. My son connected with the historical event paintings. I connected with the music paintings.
