DescriptionThis is an oil on canvas painting. It appears as if a spotlight from the upper left corner is highlighting the artist's wife and sheet music on the piano in front of her. She wears red in the foreground; the dark brown piano with music sheets and a gray wall create the background. She appears to have just casually swung around, her right hand still poised on the partially descending keys.
