Double portrait II, preparatory sketch for the painting Szopen [Chopin]

These sketches grouped on one sheet, partly associated with Chopin, feature impressionist motifs that take their final form in finished oil paintings. The sketched portraits of the composer and a woman at the piano, located in the bottom corner, and the landscape just above them, suggest a reference to the person of George Sand and the Chopin's stay in Majorca. The vast nostalgic landscape marked by rain, as suggested by the measured rhythm of oblique lines, leads to comparisons with the famous Prelude in D flat major traditionally called the "Raindrop Prelude".
