This portrait depicts a woman seated at a piano, with an open music book in front of her. She wears a red dress with a white collar and has dark hair styled in an updo. The background is dark, with a hint of a wall or curtain behind her. The woman's gaze is directed towards the viewer, and her right hand rests on the piano keys. Her attire and hairstyle suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. To learn more about the artist behind this piece, look up William Rimmer.
