Gabriella Polony Mountain's work includes four major themes. The first three themes are clearly recognizable as the Cosmos, Nature, and Figural works with the fourth theme encompassing history, philosophy, and culture. In her life as an artist, Polony Mountain worked with many different medium including mosaics, weavings, sculpture, stained glass, and repousse. Repousse, or repoussage, is a metalworking technique in which a malleable metal is shaped by hammering the reverse side of a sheet a metal. On the other side, a low relief design is revealed. As the title describes, four musicians comprise the central section of this repousse table. The quartet is recognizable from left to right as a violist, a flautist, a cellist, and a violinist. Polony Mountain uses familiar motifs in the background such as ray-like patterns and curly lines that suggest movement of sound and movement of the musicians. The two center musicians sit back-to-back while the outside musicians face inward toward the center. This musical scene is outlined by negative space thus containing the quartet as the center of focus.
