The artwork titled “Girls at the Piano” was created by Zinaida Serebriakova in 1922. This piece belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is categorized under the genre painting genre.
The artwork depicts two young girls positioned around a piano, illustrating a serene domestic scene. One girl is seated on a stool, attentively playing the piano, her hands delicately placed on the keys, while the other girl stands beside her, observing. They are dressed in simple, yet elegant clothing, with a notable contrast between the rich, deep blue of the seated girl’s dress and the lighter blue of the standing girl’s blouse. The background is subtle and muted, allowing the figures to be the focal point, and the overall composition radiates a sense of calm and intimacy. The painter’s skillful use of light and shadow enhances the tender and contemplative mood of the scene, drawing the viewer into this quiet moment of everyday life.
