Context:
In his last years, Moreau worked on enormous, very detailed compositions in oil, most of which were never finished. Watercolors were prominent in Moreau's lat work, as he was able to create small and jewel-like visions with a detail and brilliance that eluded him in the larger oils. Color, which appears as light shot through crushed gems, is the true subject of this dreamlike composition of a poet receiving inspiration from a winged muse.
