Original – Seated: Maria Carrara Verdi (Verdi's adopted daughter), Barberina Strepponi (Verdi's sister-in-law), Giuseppe Verdi, and Giuditta Ricordi (Giulio's wife). Standing: Teresa Stolz, Umberto Campanari (Verdi's estate lawyer), Giulio Ricordi, and Leopoldo Metlicovitz

Reason

Does a nice job at illustrating Verdi in his late life. His companion Teresa Stolz, the Ricordis who helped his career, his adopted daughter Maria Carrara Verdi, his sister-in-law Barbarina Strepponi; Umberto Campanari, brother to Leandro Campanari, and one of Verdi's estate lawyers - every person in this has a strong connection to Verdi, and it's photographed at Verdi's house. Downside is it's a bit busy, and not every person is as relevant to every article it appears in. Arguably a little off-centre, though given the varying elements - the tight group left, loose grouping right; the gap between the trees more left, the statue left, the people stretching further right, and such, the composition feels artistic to me without need of cuts.
