He intended the painting to be a portrait of the bassoonist at center, Désiré Dihau, who plays in an ensemble composed of recognizable colleagues and friends of the artist. The composer Emmanuel Chabrier, who performed at the Manets’ musical soirées, appears in the box in the upper left. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/845050
