books0977: Young Lady at the Spinet (c.1900). Carl Vilhelm Holsøe (Danish, 1863-1935). Oil on canvas. Holsøe arranges with minute attention the decorative pieces on the spinet and the artwork on the wall behind. Light comes from behind, suffusing each object with the tone of its own composite material. While the lady sits at the spinet, she does not play it. Her posture, with head turned away from the keys, suggests that she is reading, or perhaps reviewing sheet music. -- source link
