About the piece
Painted in 1887 by Harriet Backer, this intimate work is a masterclass in the study of light within a domestic space. The composition features a woman in a striking blue dress seated at a piano, her form softly backlit by natural light filtering through thin white curtains. Backer’s impressionistic touch brings a serene, quiet dignity to this private moment, making it a timeless piece of European naturalism.
