John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) who was himself a gifted musician, frequently attended the orchestra conducted by Jules Etienne Pasdeloup. Pasdeloup was a champion of controversial modern composers for nearly three decades in the latter half of the nineteenth century and he rehearsed his orchestra at the Cirque d'Hiver, an ornate Second Empire indoor amphitheater. Some feel this is Sargent's most abstract treatment of a subject and represents one of his boldest experiments with impressionism. This original work was first owned by Henry Bacon, and it may have been painted specifically for him.
