Girl at the Piano is a 1894 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
The painting depicts a young girl sitting at a piano, her hands poised over the keys. The room is dimly lit, with a warm glow emanating from the left side of the canvas. The girl's face is turned away from the viewer, her features obscured by the shadows. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the girl's hands and the piano. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, with visible texture adding to the overall sense of movement and energy. To learn more about the artist's use of light and shadow, explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
