This seems an appropriate image to illustrate the Bass Culture research project I'm assisting with. (It is part of a bigger picture by David Allan, called A Highland Wedding at Blair Atholl.)
What I and my colleagues at the Universities of Glasgow and Cambridge are seeking to establish, is what the cellist was playing, what patterns we can identify, and how it changed during the 18th-early 19th centuries. Here's our brand-new blog, including a fab picture of the research team.
And here's another nice one called The Penny Wedding, by
Sir David Wilkie. His preliminary sketch shows the musicians more
clearly.
