More about this artwork
Henri Lebasque’s delightful masterpiece, "La leçon de piano (Marthe et Nono)," invites viewers into an intimate, domestic scene flush with warmth and vibrant color. Painted around 1907, this artwork captures a tender moment between two girls during a piano lesson. The seated figure, presumably Marthe, is engrossed in playing piano, her attention focused on the keys as her hands gracefully navigate the instrument. Standing beside her is Nono, attentively observing and perhaps waiting for her turn to play.Lebasque’s use of vivid colors enhances the cheerfulness and light-hearted ambiance of the scene. The rich reds and warm browns of the interior create a cozy atmosphere that complements the serene act of learning and making music. The attention to detail in the textures of the room, from the woven rug to the wooden furniture and flowing curtains, infuses the scene with life and depth.This painting not only showcases Lebasque’s skill in portraying everyday moments with emotional depth and artistic beauty but also reflects the period's cultural appreciation for music and education in the domestic sphere.
