Woman at the Spinet, 1860. Creator: Francois Bonvin (French, 1817-1887)
Woman at the Spinet, 1860. The subject of the woman at the piano was a recurrent theme in Bonvins oeuvre. The pianist depicted here was likely Celine Prunaire, a 21-year-old musician who married the much older artist in 1860. Although the meticulously rendered composition celebrates the grace and propriety of the young woman, the happiness of the couples union was fleeting. Prunaire left the artist after fewer than three years, never to return. The pink carnation at her feet suggests a note of foreboding to the image, perhaps intended to allude to the ephemeral nature of music and sentimental bonds
