Becquet

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to be detectives and solve the mystery of this painting called "Becquet." nn Are you ready for an adventure? nn This painting is extra special because nobody knows for sure who painted it! We do know it was made a long, long time ago in 1859. That's even before your grandparents were born! nn Now, look closely at the painting. What do you see? nn ---

That's right! It's a man with a very serious look on his face. He's holding something special. Do you know what it is? nn --- nn It's a cello! A cello is a big instrument that makes beautiful music. Do you think our mystery man might be a musician? nn The artist used special lines and shadows to make the man and his cello look almost like they're popping out of the painting! nn What do you think the man is thinking about? nn --- nn Maybe he's thinking about the music he's going to play! Or maybe he's thinking about something very important to him. nn Even though we don't know who painted this picture or the man in it, we can still use our imaginations to learn about the past. nn Let's go explore the museum and see what other mysteries we can uncover!
