The "Portrait of a Singer at the Harpsichord" featured on the cushion, by Georg Weikert, is an 18th-century painting that reflects the typical style of portraiture during the Classical period. Georg Weikert (1743–1799) was an Austrian painter known for his portraits, particularly of musicians and aristocrats. He worked in the Viennese court, and his style was characterized by a delicate use of light, realistic depictions, and attention to the fine details of the subjects’ clothing and instruments.
This particular painting shows a female singer seated at a harpsichord, an instrument popular during the Baroque and Classical periods. The singer is elegantly dressed, reflecting the fashion of the time, and her posture suggests that she is either performing or preparing to do so. The harpsichord, which often symbolized the refined tastes and musical abilities of the subject, is rendered with careful attention to detail, including its structure and decorative elements.
The portrait emphasizes not only the musical talent of the sitter but also the connection between the aristocracy and the arts, particularly music, during the 18th century in Europe. Weikert’s work often celebrated the cultural sophistication of his patrons, and this painting is a prime example of how portraiture was used to convey both the personal identity and social status of the subject.
This painting may have been commissioned by a noble or a prominent figure in the music world, as Weikert was well-connected to the Viennese court and often worked with notable figures from the era.
