專家說明

The harp-lute was invented by Edward Light (1780-1820) in 1798 and soon became a popular instrument, particularly amongst young ladies of the Regency; the opera singer Catherine (Kitty) Stephens, Countess of Essex (1794-1882) is painted playing just such an instrument by George Henry Harlow (1718-1819) in circa 1820. A similar example by Edward Light is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum, New York (accession number 50.184.1).
