This subject depicts musical geniuses between two columns stretched with a blank drapery, which was to be used for handwritten concert information. The proof held by the Bibliothèque Nationale bears, in the artist's own hand, the pencil inscription "Concert bourgeois/Rue St Antoine". On the reverse, our print bears an old pencil inscription: "Billet de concert".
