A Piano Lesson 1800 - 1859

"A Piano Lesson" is a watercolor by David Cox, a prominent British landscape painter of the 19th century. Created between 1800 and 1859, the artwork depicts two women, one in a pink dress and the other in black, seated in a simple interior setting. While known for his landscapes, Cox also excelled in capturing intimate domestic scenes like this one, highlighting the domestic lives of ordinary people. The soft brushstrokes and muted color palette create a sense of quiet intimacy, characteristic of Cox's style. "A Piano Lesson" is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
