Pianospelende meisjes 1880

"Pianospelende meisjes" (1880), an etching by Adolphe Lalauze, depicts a young girl playing the piano. The scene, rendered in delicate detail, captures a moment of quiet domesticity, with a second girl looking on. The artwork's small size, 165 mm by 121 mm, lends intimacy to the subject, highlighting the simple pleasures of everyday life. Lalauze, a renowned French artist, is known for his mastery of etching, a technique that allowed him to achieve a sense of depth and texture in his works. This print is a poignant example of his ability to capture the essence of daily life through the art of printmaking.
