About this work

Overview

An Intimate Concert is a drawing executed in graphite on laid paper by the Swiss‑British artist Henry Fuseli in 1814. The work presents a small‑scale, monochrome composition typical of Fuseli’s later drawing practice, focusing on a quiet, interior scene.

Technique & Style

The piece is rendered entirely in graphite, exploiting the medium’s capacity for delicate tonal variation. Laid paper, with its subtle ribbed texture, provides a supportive surface that enhances the drawing’s fine lines and soft shading, characteristic of early‑nineteenth‑century British draftsmanship.
