The painting represents a cropped image of two violinists side by side, hinting that they are sitting within the lines of an orchestra. The two human figures are cropped out of the paintings, leaving the foreground to the musical instruments. The title “Solo” suggests that only one of two violinists is actually playing, as the other is holding the instrument. The scene depicts a type of entertainment that has belonged traditionally to the aristocracy, portraying an “old order” that is fading away. Especially in relation to the other paintings in the exhibition, this work contributes to the narrative of an aristocracy that sees its kingdom wane, in a society undergoing profound transformation, where new models and homogenisation begin to rise.
