Additional Notes:

French ..... Le tableau montre le compositeur en buste vêtu d’un habit noir, assis de face le visage appuyé sur une main, le bras accoudé à une tablette. Derrière lui se tient une femme vêtue à l’antique d’un péplos clair, tenant une lyre à la main tandis que son bras droit étendu au dessus de la tête du compositeur semble à la fois le désigner et le protéger. Il s’agit de Terpsichore, la muse de la danse et de la poésie lyrique. A l’arrière plan à gauche une colonne antique clôt la composition. Le visage du compositeur sévère, fermé et ridé, couronné d’une improbable chevelure bouclée est celui d’un homme âgé. Qualifié de « cadavéreux » par Hector Berlioz, il étonne par le réalisme du traitement et par le regard las qu’il adresse au spectateur.
