The painting depicts a lone figure sitting at a grand piano in the foreground. The cityscape behind them is shrouded in darkness, with a large, orange sun setting in the distance. The overall feel of the painting is melancholic, with the figure seemingly lost in thought or perhaps playing a sorrowful melody. The abstract style of the painting, with its use of bold strokes and strong contrasts, adds to the sense of drama and emotion.
