Romance, Angels and the Pianist . . .

I came across this litho a few years back at (where else?) an estate sale. The setting and wardrobe of the pianist appears to be of the Victorian era. Angels are rising to heaven in a muted background. The scene for some reason reminds me of Paul de Longpré (1855-1911) who by far my favorite artist.

The print does not show the litho company nor the artist. It appears the original was cut down for professional framing.

Has anyone ever come across this painting? Can anyone identify who the artist was for this litho?
