About the piece
Painted in 1885 by Charles Conner, this intimate genre scene depicts a woman lost in music within a quintessentially Victorian setting. The composition is a masterclass in domestic detail, featuring intricate floral wallpaper, hanging paintings, and a sunlit window that balances the deep, moody tones of the room's interior. As a member of the Richmond Group of artists, Conner expertly captures the soft light and textures of the period, making this piece a sophisticated addition to any collection of historical American art.
