The piano sits upright and includes a fan pattern in the upper body and massive classical legs with scrolls.

The lid of the armonica is open and the glasses are visible. Large scroll feet on the front support the complex base.

The painting detail shows two women resting and a view of part of a column as well as some foliage. The oil paint technique has the appearance of being like watercolor in this loose and transparent style.

The memorial building is viewed in the great distance.

In bright greens and reds, large potted plants are seen inside a building or green house. The building appears luxurious in marble with balconies, railings, and columns.

A view of the Danube River is visible beneath the memorial temple on its massive foundation.

The exterior view of the facade is shown in a dramatic upward view and includes the massive stairs, columns and sculpted pediment.

This view shows the massive Doric columns and the expansive view into the countryside from inside the temple.

The interior of the memorial temple is shown with its many attendant sculptures, busts and portraits of notable Germans.

The portrait depicts a man with a laurel wreath, a cape, loosely pleated black jacket resting his hands on a large book. The man also has a beard and mustache. The background is a muted green.

This detail of the painting includes a close view of the face of the man.
