The artwork, titled “Girl at Piano,” was created by Roy Lichtenstein in 1963. The piece is a screenprint and belongs to the Pop Art movement. It is a portrait genre artwork.
In the artwork, a woman is depicted playing the piano, presented in Lichtenstein’s signature comic book style. The woman has blonde hair styled elegantly and is dressed in a strapless gown. Her expression is serene and somewhat reflective. The colors are vibrant, characterized by the bold primary colors and black outlines that are typical of Lichtenstein’s work. A speech bubble above her head adds a narrative element, reading, “Although he holds his brush and palette in his hands, I know his heart is always with me!” This statement adds a sentimental layer to the image, blending elements of romance commonly found in comic strips with fine art.
