1718 (ca.), Jean-Antoine Watteau, The Scale of Love -- National Gallery (London)
From the museum label: The title refers to the music which the couple in the foreground are making. The guitarist is in theatrical costume. Whether he is looking at his companion or at the music she holds is unclear. The title is from an engraving made of the painting a few years after the artist's death.
