A Woman Playing the Guitar is a 1788 ink by Jean-François Janinet, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a woman in a lavish dress, playing a guitar in a room. She is standing, holding the instrument in her left hand and strumming it with her right. The room is dimly lit, with a mirror and a table beside her, and a chair in front of her. The woman's dress is a mix of blue and pink hues, and her hair is styled in an updo. The room's furnishings are ornate, with intricate carvings on the chair and table. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of elegance and refinement, capturing a moment of leisure and creativity.
