The Banjo Lesson. This was another piece that I saw at the Rhapsodies in Black show at the Palace of Legion of Honor way back in 1998, but this work means so much to me because my parents have a copy of this in their home; I adore it. Technically it is such a stunning work, but the sense of calm and serenity is so palpable here. The world around this pair is unimaginable, but the simplicity and tenderness of this moment is universal.
