Musical cardinals

April 6th, 2011, 11:36 PM

I once saw an amusing print of (as I recall) a group of bishops and/or cardinals in 17th or 18th century drawing room having a good time with glasses of wine while some of their number provided the entertainment by playing a musical instrument or two. Would anyone know the painting (I think there may be several on the theme) or the name of the artist?

Would it perhaps be this one? A Wrong Note by François Brunery. He did a number of paintings depicting cardinals/bishops.

Thanks for that - it's certainly very similar but not the one I was thinking of. Do you or anyone else have any other suggestions?
