On the far right, the Baron François Gevaert, the Conservator of the Royal Conservatory in Brussels conducts an orchestra composed of members from his Conservatory in Wagner's opera , one of Ensor's favourite musical pieces, which he heard in 1883 in Brussels. Above them, hanging in a frame, Wagner crying of anger and covering his ears up. The present drawing is closely related in subject and composition to the painting , 1902 (Tricot, no. 389).
