About this work

A crowded satirical print titled Amateurs of Tye-Wig Music by Edward Francis Burney shows heavyset, wigged figures playing violins, a cello, and flutes in an ornate paneled room. Framed portraits and busts of composers line the walls, while sheet music, books, and discarded instruments clutter the floor, and two cherubic children play nearby.
