- Abstract
-
"A grinning woman sits full-face behind a square piano, playing with complacent vigour. At her feet is a dog. She accompanies an elderly violinist (left) and 'cellist (right), who both regard her with rage; the former has ceased playing. The 'cellist's contorted features are copied in BMSat 9605."--British Museum online catalogue
