Description
A fair-haired girl in a loose white dress sits at an upright piano, fingers on the keys and lips slightly parted as if singing along, while a second girl in a rose-pink gown leans over her shoulder to turn the page of sheet music propped on the stand. Their closeness and shared concentration give the scene an easy, domestic warmth typical of Renoir’s Paris interiors of the early 1890s.
Behind them, striped blue-green curtains and a mantel piled with objects give depth to the room, while a bouquet of pink and white flowers in a blue and gold vase catches the light beside the piano’s brass candle sconces. Renoir’s brush moves fluidly between the softly modeled faces and hands and the looser, more textured strokes of drapery and floral pattern, unifying the whole in warm, glowing color.
A beloved scene of music and companionship, well suited to a living room or music room wall. This Two Young Girls at the Piano composition is offered as a museum-quality canvas print, made to order in a range of sizes and shipped worldwide.
