Ok, Joe, that was a challenging one, but I finally got it!

From the Steinway website:
The Art Case Collection - Pear Grove


By Silas Kopf
Model L Grand

This art case features the classic marquetry of Silas Kopf. The design depicts a grove of pear trees through the various seasons, from bloom to mature fruit. The piano is transferred into a marquetry canvas made up of thousands of individual inlaid pieces of wood that together provide a realistic depiction of its subject. The legs and case of the piano are framed in ribbon striped bubinga. The marquetry also includes walnut, mahogany and cherry veneers.
