About the piece
Created in 1867 by Silvestro Lega, a leading figure of the Macchiaioli movement, this painting depicts three women in a quiet, light-filled interior. One seated woman plays an upright piano while her companions stand beside her, lost in the melody of a 'stornello'—a traditional Italian folk song. The work is celebrated for its masterful treatment of natural light and its serene, dignified portrayal of everyday life.
