In this portrait study of Chopin, the essence of inspiration has been captured in an impressionist way. The artist draws the composer's distinctive profile accompanied by musical notation, which rises up like rainbows. Chopin's music, full of epic drama based on a complex architecture, mystery and irrationality, influenced the minds of decadent artists in a special way. It captivated Weiss not only as a lover of music, but also as performer and expert in music literature.
