1869 (ca.), Edouard Manet, Madame Manet at the Piano -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) (special exhibition)
From the museum label: Manet's wife, Suzanne, was a talented musician who had been one of his family's piano teachers. He portrayed her many times, but this particular painting seems to have been made in response to Degas's work nearby, which Manet defaced. The two compositions are set in the same room in the Manet apartment on the Rue de Saint-Pétersbourg where the couple received their friends, including Degas, on Thursdays.
