Faust and Wagner

Henri Leys

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men sitting on a bench. They are seated closely together, with one man crossing his legs and resting his hands on a walking stick while the other man leans forward with his elbow on his knee and chin in his hand. The man on the left has a long, pointed beard and wears a flat, dark hat. The man on the right wears a dark hat and a short beard. Both men wear long cloaks with patterned sleeves visible under their cloaks. The man on the left has a robe covering his legs, and both wear light-colored shoes. The background includes bare trees and detailed, multi-story buildings with varied roof lines, cobbled walls, and windows. Faint outlines of other figures and activity are visible in the background.
