Girl at Piano 1973

Will Barnet's 1973 painting, "Girl at Piano," features a young girl, rendered in a simplified style, seated at a piano and turning pages of sheet music. The composition is dominated by a bright yellow background, suggesting a cheerful mood. The dark silhouette of the piano and the girl's simple clothing contribute to the work's minimalist aesthetic, characteristic of Barnet's style. The painting is a classic example of Barnet's figural works, often depicting children and young women in everyday settings.
