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 young woman from the waist up, seated at an angle facing the viewer. She has delicate facial features, high cheekbones, and styled hair with curls and a ribbon securing it. She wears a long-sleeved garment with vertical stripes and a shawl on her shoulders. Her right hand is extended forward, and her left hand holds an open music score book on a small keyboard instrument. The background is plain.
