An evening recital (1890). Tom (Peter Thomsen) Petersen (Danish, 1861-1926). Oil on canvas.As is a common practice with his Danish artist contemporaries Holsøe, Hammershøi, and Ilstead, Thomsen depicts the pianist in muted tones, wearing plain clothing, as she faces away from the viewer and plays, perhaps to an audience of one. She is likely in her own house enjoying the simple common daily activity of playing the piano. -- source link
