Original still-life illustration art composition, showing violin, cello, harp, trumpet, oboe, and open sheet music against a light blue background. The background incorporates stylistic elements from the neoclassical tradition, in which musical notes, clefs, bells, tassels and so forth are rendered en grisaille.
Frederick Elmiger was an American illustrator. He frequently produced series on historical themes for Donald Art Company in Port Chester, New York, publishers of posters, lithographs, and artists' prints. These included scenes from American history, Revolutionary war uniforms and vintage automobiles. At the time of his death he was living in Larchmont, New York.
