MOZART, LAST MOMENTS OF, Michael
Munkácsy, Paris. The dying composer
having written as his last work a
requiem to be sung at his own funeral, rehearsed
fragments of this composition with
his friends on the day before his death,
Dec. 5, 1791. Clothed in a yellow dressing-gown,
his legs wrapped in a woollen blanket,
he is seated in an arm-chair, and, seen in profile,
beats the time for the singers with his
right hand, while the left is holding a leaf
of the score, which seems to glide from his
feeble grasp. Behind him stands his wife,
and at his right, half shaded, his little son.
The group of singers, wholly absorbed in
the immortal work, occupies the left side of
the picture, while a third group, standing
by the piano in the background, is formed
by the friends, who observe the master with
mournful disquietude, one of them, leaning
upon the instrument, looking with marked
sympathy at his face. Painted in 1885-86.—Allgem.

xxi. 443.
