The Music Lesson is an oil-on-canvas painting by the French artist Jean Honoré Fragonard, created c. 1770, now held in the Louvre, in Paris, to which it was donated by Hippolyte Walferdin in 1849.[1]

The subject was a frequent one in the Dutch Golden Age, most famously Vermeer's work of the same title, and was a common allegory for the five senses in Baroque art.[2] Fragonard converts the subject into a fête galante scene of dreamy love, with the young music teacher courting his pupil and looking at her cleavage.[3]
