This black and white photograph captures Thelonious Monk's piano in the corner of a spacious room, surrounded by chairs and other furniture. The piano itself appears weathered, with scratches and scuffs on its surface, suggesting that it has been played extensively over the years. Through a large window in the background, the view of the Hudson river can be seen, adding a tranquil and scenic element to the photograph. The photograph was taken inside Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter's villa 'Cathouse,' where Monk lived in 1993, providing a glimpse into the personal and creative spaces of the legendary jazz musician.
