音樂與舞蹈在唐代宮廷中深受歡迎，而陶俑所表現出的音樂家與舞者，其服飾及髮式皆反映了唐代女性的時尚風格。當時的陶俑常見宮廷女性以各種樂器演奏或作舞蹈姿態。然而，本件陶俑獨特之處在於其以站姿呈現；因為大多數音樂家陶俑更常見的是坐姿或跪姿。如欲參考兩件彩繪陶製跪姿女樂俑，參見尚-保羅·戴侯許（J-P. Desroches）著，《永恆的伴侶》（Compagnons d’éternité），巴黎，1996年，頁154-155。此外，本件陶俑的面容精巧秀麗，其雙手隱藏在長袖之中，以優雅的姿態持著腰鼓，亦令人印象深刻。

本件陶俑的姿態與服飾特色，包括髮型為後梳成單髻，以及身著高腰的長袍、上翹的鞋履等，與唐代三彩釉陶俑十分相似，後者有時會呈現雙手置於胸前持鳥的造型。一例此類三彩陶俑，原屬巴黎 L. Wannieck 收藏，曾於2014年12月18日在紐約佳士得拍賣會上售出，拍品編號717號。

Music and dance were highly popular at the Tang court, and the costumes and coiffures of these musicians and dancers reflect the fashion for women during the Tang dynasty. Contemporary pottery figures depict court ladies with various instruments, as well as in dancing poses. The present figure is unusual in being shown standing, as musicians are more often shown seated or in kneeling poses. For two painted pottery kneeling female musicians see J-P. Desroches, Compagnons d’éternité, Paris, 1996, pp. 154-155. The present figure is also distinguished by her delicately rendered face, and the elegant manner in which she holds the hourglass-shaped drum, with her hands concealed by the long sleeves.

The stance and dress of the present figure, with the hair pulled back in a single knot and the long, high-waisted robe and upturned shoes, is similar to Tang-dynasty sancai-glazed figures, sometimes shown with the hands held at front and holding a bird. An example of this type from the collection of L. Wannieck, Paris, was sold at Christie’s New York, 18 December 2014, lot 717.
