About this work

A woman sits indoors, playing a small guitar. She wears a light-colored dress with a big, puffy hairdo. Behind her, a fireplace shows a glowing fire, and a window lets in dim light. The room has fancy carvings on the walls and a patterned rug on the floor. Her dress has tiny dots and a wide blue skirt, while her hair is styled high. The guitar looks old-fashioned, and she holds it gently. The fire in the background adds warmth to the scene. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
