Young Girl at the Keyboard

Cornelis Ploos van Amstel (editor) and Johannes Kornlein (printmaker), after Jan de Bray (formerly Gerrit Dou)

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman seated in a three-quarter position. She has high cheekbones, rounded eyes, and hair styled in a bun with loose strands framing her face. She wears a long-sleeved dress with a striped pattern and a shawl over her shoulders, holding a music book in her left hand and resting her right hand on a keyboard instrument.
