Richard Wagner and His Genius from Scenes of Rheingold

Henri Fantin-Latour

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two people in full-body view, with a third person partially visible in the background. One person is a woman standing in profile, facing to the right. Her head is slightly bowed, and her hair is styled in a bun under a headscarf or cap. She wears a long dress with long sleeves, holding a piece of fabric or a shawl. The second figure, possibly a woman, stands behind her in profile, wearing a similar dress and possibly a bonnet. To the right, there is a shadowy figure dressed in dark clothing in motion. The background features vertical striped patterns resembling columns or pillars.
