Le musicien

Item Information

Title:
Le musicien
Description:
On the left, in the foreground, the musician sits in front of a table on which is placed a lit antique lamp. He is holding a pen, ready to write in a book. The muse, naked to the middle, is standing behind him in the middle of the composition. Her right hand is resting on his shoulder and she seems to speak to him and show him a bundle of twigs that she holds in her left hand. He, staring at her, listens eagerly. There is a column on the right and a landscape and trees on the left.
