## Commentary

Traversi&#39;s subject matter was often taken from the lives of ordinary people and the bourgeoisie. The his popular genre scenes for private patrons include subjects such as the Engagement, the First Dance, the Embroidery Class, the Five Senses, Card Games and Musical Parties. All were painted with considerable attention to details of dress and furnishings, and thus provide an important record of contemporary life in Rome and Naples.
