While browsing this evening, I ran across an interesting site by Lena
Liu, an artist who makes available a nice array of prints featuring
grand pianos in elegant settings.  Over the years, I've noted that
quite a few collectors of reproducing and player pianos, also tend to
acquire a few very nice prints featuring a grand piano.

Point your favorite web browser to this URL and click on "musical
instruments" and "music room series" :

 [ A favorite in my family is the painting by artist Willy von
 [ Beckerath of Johannes Brahms seated before a grand piano.  His
 [ short legs hardly reach the pedals, and a stubby cigar is clamped
 [ in his mouth.  A related pose is assumed by Harlem pianist Willy
 [ "The Lion" Smith in a recent high-key black & white poster print
 [ created by artist Tom McKinney.  Willie sports his derby hat and
 [ cigar, which later became the trademark of Joe "Fingers" Carr and
 [ many other latter-day ragtime performers.  -- Robbie
