DescriptionHorizontal watercolor painting of a large open barracks building filled with people on benches watching a piano recital on stage. A woman in a pink dress sits at an upright piano, a man in a dark suit is seated next to her. A burgundy curtain is behind the stage with large flower arrangements to each side. Windows on each side of room have pale orange curtains. The room is awash in shades of yellow and gold. The audience is seated in 6 rows of brown benches. They are wearing dark colored clothing--blacks, grays, browns, blue-gray. They all have black hair and face the stage. A center aisle draws your eye to the featured piano player on stage. Dated 3-44.
