We look into the bedroom of a sick musician. He lies in bed with a pained expression and his hand held to his chest. The French horn he is cradling, the violin on a pile of sheet music, and the portrait of composer Franz Liszt are all references to his profession. Two children turn expectantly to look at the visitors, presumably colleagues from the theater, who are entering the room together with their mother. A theater notice with the words “Vielka” and “Lind” is attached to the folding screen. Vielka, a singspiel by Giacomo Meyerbeer, was performed at the Theater an der Wien in 1847 with the popular Swedish soprano Jenny Lind singing the title role. It seems that the musician was unable to play and missed the opera star’s performance. The wealth of detail in this scene is a classic example of Eduard Ritter’s sometimes humorous genre paintings.
