{"product_id":"playing-by-heart-lilla-cabot-perry","title":"Playing by Heart - Lilla Cabot Perry","description":"\u003cp\u003eA portrait of a young woman at the piano, painted by American Impressionist Lilla Cabot Perry with a focus on light and quiet concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLilla Cabot Perry, a central figure in the American Impressionist movement, captures a quiet moment of musical focus in this portrait. The subject is depicted in profile, her gaze directed away from the viewer as she engages with the piano. The composition relies on a clear, structured arrangement, placing the figure against a simplified background that directs all attention to the act of playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerry employs a controlled application of paint, balancing the soft rendering of the subject's features with the more defined, saturated blue of her dress. The light source is subtle, illuminating the side of the subject's face and highlighting the hands resting upon the keys. This work reflects the artist's time spent in France, where she associated with Claude Monet and absorbed the techniques of the Impressionist circle. Despite these influences, the painting maintains a distinct clarity and focus on the psychological state of the sitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette is dominated by deep, cool tones, contrasted by the warm, flesh-toned highlights on the hands and face. The texture of the fabric is suggested through light and shadow rather than excessive detail, a hallmark of Perry's approach to portraiture. The painting avoids unnecessary ornamentation, allowing the subject's posture and the implied sound of the music to define the mood of the piece. It is a study in concentration, capturing a fleeting moment of artistic expression with precision and restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lilla Cabot Perry","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58353144365391,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58353145872719,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58353145905487,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58353145938255,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58353145971023,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58353146003791,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58353146036559,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58353146069327,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58353146102095,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58353146134863,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58353146167631,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58353146200399,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Playing-by-Heart_Poster_CompositorV1_1785451471482.jpg?v=1785451702","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/playing-by-heart-lilla-cabot-perry","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
