Lady Playing the Piano

The instrument is painted with floral garlands over a white ground and stands on curved gilt legs, a sheet of music propped on the raised desk. The lady sits half-turned, both hands carried to the keys, her back away from the pink-upholstered chair. Her gown runs lilac into pink, frilled at the elbows and neckline, the skirt printed with small bouquets. A white vase of applied roses stands at the far end of the top, a blue drape falling over the edge.
