About the piece

Painted in 1872 by Italian artist Gerolamo Induno, this oil on canvas captures a private performance in an opulent room. The composition focuses on the intimate interplay between the musician and his audience, highlighted by the vibrant red of the lady's gown and the intricate gold detailing of the harpsichord against the deep, muted walls.
