About the piece

Created in 1883, Charles Frederic Ulrich's 'Moment Musicale' is a masterful example of late 19th-century genre painting. The work depicts a woman in profile and from behind seated at a dark piano, surrounded by a collection of globes, vases, and a lush potted palm. The composition is grounded by a striking red vase in the foreground, catching the soft light that filters through the room.
