White double doors fold back on either side of a wide opening, and through it a dark closed piano stands against the grey wall of the room beyond, beneath a small gilt-framed picture. In the foreground a dark polished table with a rounded top cuts across the lower right corner, catching light from a window out of sight. The canvas is small, 36 by 32 centimetres, and dated 1911. The National Gallery of Denmark's own Danish title spells out the scene: a room whose double doors stand open onto a room behind with a closed piano. It is listed in Alfred Bramsen's 1918 catalogue and entered the museum in 2026.
This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
Grey walls, white doors and a dark polished table suit a music room, dining room or a narrow wall beside a doorway. Pair it with Van Gogh's The Bedroom and hang this one at 12×18 in a dark wood frame.

Size. We'd hang this one at 12×18. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.
Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — black suits the deep tones of this period; dark wood warms it.
Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).
