The painting, measuring 160 by 250 centimeters, is currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. It features prominent figures of the time, including poets Charles Baudelaire and Paul Verlaine, as well as artists Édouard Manet and James McNeill Whistler, among others. They are depicted in a somber, reverential setting, gathered around a portrait of Delacroix, which serves as the focal point of the composition.
