雷诺阿创作于1892年的Two Young Girls at the Piano，比之雷诺阿的其它作品，它带有更多的古典性，画面的主体是年轻女孩和钢琴。金发的女孩一边翻动琴谱一边弹奏，棕发女孩则斜倚在钢琴上。作品将立式钢琴与年轻女孩的轮廓线条组合在一起，同时尽量减少对细节的强调，以便观看者将注意力专注于人物本身。

　　这幅画可能是在雷诺阿的家中画的，因为他曾在1890年购买了一架钢琴作为给妻子的结婚礼物。与此画相似的创作，目前已知的至少有6幅。

In late 1891 or early 1892 Renoir was invited by the French government to execute a painting for a new museum in Paris, the Musée du Luxembourg, which was to be devoted to the work of living artists. He chose as his subject two girls at the piano. Aware of the intense scrutiny to which his submission would be subjected, Renoir lavished extraordinary care on this project, developing and refining the composition in a series of five canvases. The Lehman painting and the nearly identical version formerly in the collection of Renoir's fellow Impressionist Gustave Caillebotte have long been regarded as the most accomplished variants of this intimate and engaging scene of bourgeois domestic life.
