Description	Depiction of an artist painting a trompe l'oeil ceiling in a palace while a violinist entertains him. The artist is up on scaffolding with his assistants working below him on a lower level of scaffolding along with the violinist. To the left in the back, the Crown Prince can be seen coming in to observe the work. The unique perspective and "snapshot-like" moment that is depicted are common for the Realism categorization, with a more casual, loose brushwork style that is unique to Menzel.
