By the piano 

Delphin Enjolras crafted 'By the Piano' using oil on canvas, presenting a scene bathed in warm, inviting light. The composition is structured around the central piano, which acts as a focal point, drawing the viewer's eye through a carefully arranged domestic space. Notice how Enjolras employs light not just to illuminate but to define space and form. The glow from the lamp casts soft shadows, creating a sense of intimacy and highlighting the textures of the room. The artist has carefully arranged the figures, placing them in a triangular composition that provides balance and visual harmony. The use of complementary colors—warm yellows and oranges against cooler greens and blues—enhances the emotional depth of the scene, evoking a sense of warmth and nostalgia. The cracked surface of the painting adds another layer, reminding us of the passage of time and the transient nature of beauty. This work is not just a depiction of a scene; it’s an exploration of light, texture, and composition.
