Item Information

Title:
A. J. Brahms
Description:
Music cries, kneeling on the steps of a temple whose pediment reads - J. Brahms. With one hand she holds back her lyre and with her other hand, she veils her eyes. In front of her, on the left, a cloud of incense rises from a perfume-burner. On the right, Glory, a flying figure, faces forward and rises. She has a palm in her left hand and a trumpet in her other hand.
