About this work

This image shows a person standing behind an ornate organ. The person is holding sheet music and dressed in old-fashioned clothes. Swirling decorative patterns fill the background, framing the scene like a window. The organ and the swirls look like they’re part of a booklet cover, not a real room. The artist signed it in the corner. If you like this style, check out Baroque.
