This sketch shows a woman in a white dress and big hat standing near a window. She holds a fan, and her face is turned away. In the foreground, a man sits with his back to us, his head resting on his hand. A piano and some sheet music lie on a table in front of him. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture movement and mood. The scene feels intimate, like a quiet moment in a private room. Want to see more?
