Summary
Description1808PerformanceOfHaydnCreation.jpg
English: Color print, from 1909, of a watercolor on the lid of a stationery box made by Balthazar Wigand and presented to the composer Joseph Haydn. It commemorates Haydn's attendance, in extreme old age, of a performance of his oratorio The Creation. (The composer can be seen seated in the lower center of the image, wearing wig and hat.) The original of this picture was lost in 1945.
