About the piece
In this 1891 masterpiece, Théo van Rysselberghe captures Maria Sèthe at her piano using the meticulous pointillist method characteristic of Neo-Impressionism. The shimmering play of light across her lavender dress and the warm wooden tones of the instrument create a harmonious, atmospheric scene that feels both modern and classically refined.
