Mademoiselle Dihau at the Piano 1890

"Mademoiselle Dihau at the Piano" is a painting by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec created in 1890. The artwork, which is currently housed in the Musee Toulouse-Lautrec in Albi, France, features a woman playing the piano. This depiction of a woman engaged in a musical activity was a common theme for Toulouse-Lautrec, who was known for his depiction of Parisian nightlife and the people who frequented it. The painting captures the intimacy and quietude of a private moment, with the woman's focused expression suggesting a deep concentration on her playing. The artist’s characteristically bold and energetic brushstrokes contribute to the painting’s sense of dynamism, even as the scene itself is relatively still.
