A Woman at the Piano is a 1867 oil by Augustin Théodule Ribot, a Realism work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
The painting depicts a woman sitting at a piano, her face turned downward. The room is dark, with only a faint light illuminating the scene. The woman's hands are poised over the keys, as if she is about to play. Her face is partially obscured by shadows, adding to the sense of mystery. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation. The use of chiaroscuro creates a dramatic effect, with the contrast between light and dark drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's face.
