Two Men

n.d.

An impressionistic painting depicting two men, one standing and one seated at a piano. The seated man appears to be playing the piano, while the standing man observes. The brushwork is loose and expressive, with a dark, moody color palette dominated by blues and browns. The faces of the men are not detailed, focusing more on their posture and the moment of shared musical experience.
