Harnett was an expert at rendering textures: for example, the tattered and fragile music stained with age; the shine of an ebony-and-ivory flute; books with worn leather covers; the reflection of light on a brass candlestick; the translucency of a candle; and the shiny and matte sides of a red ribbon bookmark.
Music and literature help to preserve the past, and Harnett specifically included Miguel Cervantes's early seventeenth-century novel Don Quixote and music (in the foreground) from the more recent opera La Traviata, written by Guiseppe Verdi in 1853.
The music, however, is stained and torn, and the leather covers of the books worn with age.
