"At the Piano" is an oil on canvas painting by the American-born artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, created in 1858-1859. The work is a fine example of Whistler's early career, showcasing his interest in genre painting and the influence of Realism on his style. It depicts a domestic interior scene featuring Whistler's half-sister, Deborah Haden, and her young daughter, Annie Harriet Haden, engaged in a musical moment. The composition is notable for its intimate portrayal of the figures, the attention to the effects of light and shadow, and the harmonious arrangement of forms and colors.

The painting measures 76.2 x 64.1 cm (30 x 25.2 in) and is part of the Taft Museum of Art collection in Cincinnati, Ohio. "At the Piano" is considered one of Whistler's masterpieces from his early period and is often cited for its simplicity and quiet elegance. The work reflects Whistler's transition from the narrative-driven subjects of his contemporaries to a focus on the aesthetic qualities of the scene, which would become a hallmark of his later works.

Whistler's use of a limited color palette, dominated by whites and grays, prefigures his later tonalist works and underscores his growing interest in the musicality of visual art, a concept he would further develop in his "Nocturnes," "Symphonies," and "Arrangements." The painting's title itself suggests a confluence of the visual and the musical, a theme that would remain central to Whistler's aesthetic philosophy throughout his career.

"At the Piano" was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1860, where it received mixed reviews, reflecting the Victorian art world's divided reception of Whistler's emerging style. Today, the painting is recognized for its significance in the development of Whistler's artistic vision and its role in the broader context of 19th-century art, marking a departure from the narrative genre scenes of the era and moving towards a more abstract and evocative approach to painting.
