The narrative of this piece can be interpreted many different ways, as can most pieces of artwork, although its intended narrative is as follows. After playing their instrument a musician sets it next to a tree and lets the strings of the violin breathe while they take out their flute. Playing it for a while they leave them for a moment to get something to drink, which leaves this scene. Though it is not outside we can imagine it as so. It is accomplished by showing the tree, violin, and flute so openly and near to each other. The intended audience of this piece is anyone who has played either of the instruments or knows what it takes to learn them. The audience would know that once in a while a break is required in order to stay sane.
It’s balanced and yet at the same time feels a little
off, I feel that if I had a chance to redo this piece I would rearrange the
objects in order to make the violin bigger and have more detail. There is
volume, space, and depth in the piece as well as texture, which can be seen in
the white of the background. There is a shadow of the tree on the wall behind
it and volume as the colors fade into black where the light disappears, it could be a bit darker though.
