Postcard: The Piano Player

The Museu Nacional d' Art de Catalunyan (MNAC) just recently had a stunning painting by the Catalan artist Santiago Rusiñol titled "A Romance" reproduced as a postcard.
The painting shows an unknown woman in a beautiful crimson gown playing the piano. Behind her though stands French composer and pianist Erik Satie.

This 1894 painting from Rusiñol - among other artworks from MNAC - is going to be digitised in the course of the Partage Plus project and will be available through Europeana soon.
