Dominant colour
Piano is a 1853 by Paul Gavarni, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image is a portrait of a man playing the piano. He is wearing a dark jacket and has short, curly hair. The background is filled with sketches of people, but they are not clearly defined. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of creativity and music. The man's face is turned to the side, and his eyes are cast downward as he focuses on playing the piano. His hands are positioned on the keys, and his fingers are spread apart to play the notes. The piano itself is not clearly visible, but it appears to be a grand piano based on the shape and size of the keys. This image is a great example of the work of artist Paul Gavarni (French, 1804–1866).
Paul Gavarni was the pen name of Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier (13 January 1804 – 24 November 1866), a French illustrator, born in Paris.
