Dorothea Tanning's 'Eine Kleine Nachtmusik' (1943) is a Surrealist oil painting depicting a haunting interior scene with two young girls and a giant sunflower in a long, unsettling hallway.
Dorothea Tanning's 1943 oil on canvas, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, presents a haunting interior scene, characteristic of her Surrealist style. The painting depicts a long hallway with a red carpet leading up a staircase. Three closed doors line the left wall, while a single open door is visible at the far end of the hall. Two young girls stand on the carpet. The first, dressed in a tattered white dress, has wild, dark hair that seems to writhe and reach upwards. The second girl, further down the hall, wears a red top and a similarly distressed white skirt. A giant sunflower lies on the carpet, its roots snaking across the floor. The colour palette is muted, dominated by greens and browns, which adds to the unsettling atmosphere. The perspective is slightly distorted, enhancing the dreamlike quality of the work. Tanning's work often explores themes of the subconscious and the uncanny, and this painting is a prime example of her ability to create a world that is both familiar and deeply unsettling. The title, a reference to Mozart's serenade, adds another layer of complexity, suggesting a dissonance between the apparent harmony of the title and the disquieting imagery of the painting.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
