"Artist Painting a Portrait of a Musician" is an oil on canvas painting by French artist Marguerite Gérard, created circa 1803. The artwork is a fine example of Gérard's genre paintings, which often depict intimate domestic scenes and daily life of the French middle class during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. As the sister-in-law and student of the renowned painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Gérard developed a style that combined Rococo charm with the emerging Neoclassical clarity.

The painting showcases a scene within an artist's studio, where a female artist is depicted in the act of painting a male musician. This subject is significant as it reflects the evolving roles of women in the arts during a period when they were beginning to gain recognition for their artistic contributions. The musician, holding a sheet of music, serves as a live model, and the interaction between the two figures suggests a narrative that goes beyond a simple portrait sitting.

Measuring 17.5 x 22.5 inches (44.5 x 57.2 cm), the painting is noted for its detailed rendering of textures and fabrics, as well as its subtle interplay of light and shadow. Gérard's attention to detail and her ability to capture the nuances of expression and personality in her subjects are evident in this work.

"Artist Painting a Portrait of a Musician" is part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical significance. The painting not only exemplifies Gérard's skill as a portraitist but also serves as a window into the cultural milieu of post-revolutionary France, where art and music were integral to the fabric of society.
