Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person seated at a piano, leaning forward with their hands on the keys appearing to play and sing simultaneously. The person has short, dark, and combed-back hair, wearing a dark, striped jacket. In the background, there are other people, mostly men, observing. The setting is indoors with a music score on the piano and a candle holder with a lit candle to the side.
