The Sonata

About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting at a piano, her back to the viewer. She wears a white dress and has short, dark hair. The piano is black, and there are vases with flowers on it. The room is dark, but sunlight comes in through a window on the left, making the curtains glow. The woman seems to be playing the piano, but we can't see her hands. The flowers on the piano are pink and white. There's a picture on the wall behind the piano, but it's hard to make out what it is.
