About the piece

Painted in 1914, this work by Walter Sickert captures a pianist in profile, her dark silhouette casting a soft shadow against a sun-drenched ochre wall. The rich texture of the oil paint and a grounded palette of navy and warm earth tones create an atmosphere of quiet concentration, characteristic of Sickert's intimate interior scenes from the early 20th century.
