George T. Putnam

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a man seated on a cushioned stool, facing sideways at a grand piano. He is engaging with the piano, with one hand on the keys and the other holding a tuning tool. The man has neatly combed hair, a mustache, and sideburns, and is wearing a dark suit jacket over a light-colored waistcoat and trousers, with a white shirt and a tie. An open tool case with various tools is on the floor beside him. The background is a simple, undecorated wall.
