The Guitar Player is a 1908 oil by Joseph DeCamp, a American Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This painting shows a woman sitting on a couch, holding a guitar. She is wearing a white dress with ruffles around her shoulders and has her hair pulled back. The background is a plain wall with a dark wood trim along the bottom. The woman's face is turned slightly to the right, and her eyes are cast downward as if she is looking at the guitar. Her right hand is placed on the neck of the guitar, and her left hand is on the body. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman and her guitar.
