The Music Lesson (French: La leçon de musique) is a 1917 oil painting by Henri Matisse.[2] It is on display at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
This work is a family portrait depicting the artist's relatives around a Pleyel piano and a window in Issy-les-Moulineaux. The theme is a much more naturalistic recreation of The Piano Lesson, created the previous year in large colored sections, which is now at the Museum of Modern Art, in New York.
