About the piece

This 1873 oil study, attributed to the Hungarian painter Pál Szinyei Merse, captures the refined atmosphere of a private concert. The composition is anchored by the striking contrast between a performer's tiered white dress and a deep crimson carpet, rendered with the loose, evocative brushwork that anticipates the Impressionist movement.
