This painting shows a woman with dark hair, looking down at a violin she's holding. The background is dark, but there's a sliver of a sunset or sunrise with pink, yellow, and orange colors. The woman's face is painted in a realistic style, and her eyes are cast downward, as if she's concentrating on the music. The violin is also painted in detail, with visible strings and a bow. The painting's style is reminiscent of the Impressionist movement, with loose brushstrokes and vivid colors. Check out more works by Tom Roberts.
