What is this painting by Johannes Vermeer called?
Correct answer: The Music Lesson
I, Claudius
The painting initially presents the woman focused on playing the virginal, a keyboard instrument popular during that era. However, the mirror reveals her gaze directed toward the gentleman standing next to her, implying a deeper connection or interest beyond just a music lesson. Hence the other name.

Saw this painting a few weeks ago at Buckingham Palace. Looks like a painting on the wall behind the piano, rather than a reflection.

Vel, The woman is playing an instrument standing up (not seated). In closeup you can see the keys (similar to piano keys), and the man's slightly open mouth.

Really??? I do not see a young girl playing an instrument or a man with mouth open as if singing. Not the painting you are describing!
