(Sigh… She has Van Gogh’s ear for music. If Beethoven had been forced to listen to this Elise hack away at his Für Elise, he would have wished he was deaf!)
my piano teacher was part drill instructor/part regretful-that-she-went-into-music. and, that is why I don’t play piano anymore. And, wish all music programs in schools would go away.
A somewhat enlarged image can be found at the only work, by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog (yesterday). Again, it is a cropped image. A full, maybe-click-to-enlarge image can be found here.A Romance is shown, with a slightly different coloration, click-to-humongous image, by its current-location page (takes a while for last embedded hyperlink to appear).This (Google translated) says the woman was model Stéfanie Nantas, who posed for several of the artist’s works, and the man was his friend, French composer Éric Satie, who was in love with Nantas (dedicated Poudre d’or, a slow waltz, to her) — how the artist found her. The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated Catalonian Wikipedia page has more) and collection (more under Subcategories at each level).First work, by this artist, to appear here.
Everyone thinks he is looking at her boobs. Point 1 – she is wearing a high-necked gown. Point 2 – They aren’t protruding in front of her upper arm so likely aren’t all that impressive. Looks to me like Dude is sleeping while pretending to be entranced by the music. Likely this is a Sunday morning lesson and he was giggin’ it last night with the band at the local taberna.

She was flattered by her teacher’s apparent interest, until she learned he was deaf in his left ear.
