    Violinist in the Belfry Window (1858)

    Eduard von Steinle (Austrian, 1810–1886)

    A lone violinist leans from the belfry window, bow poised above strings. The church tower frames him against an unseen sky, his music hovering between sacred and solitary. Below, empty streets wait for the notes to fall.
