Wagner, in profile, turned to the left, sits at his desk, illuminated by a lamp flame. A book is open before him and his hand, which holds a feather, is placed on it. The Muse stands behind Wagner, his bare chest in full light, palm in hand. His other hand is resting on the master's shoulder. Landscape in the background.
