About this work

In this painting, a woman sits at a clavichord, her right hand poised over the keys. She wears a dark dress with a white collar and a white headscarf. To her right, a man sits on a chest, holding a glass of wine and looking at her. Behind them, a boy in a wide-brimmed hat stands by an open door, while another man stands in the doorway. The room is dimly lit, with a dog lying on the floor. The woman's gaze is directed at the man, and her posture suggests she is about to play the clavichord. The man's relaxed pose and the glass of wine in his hand imply a sense of leisure and enjoyment. This painting is part of the collection at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
