The lad, dressed in antique German costume, opened the dour, and took him into a spacious room, where the old man was sitting on a little stool before a large canvas, all covered with a grey ground-tint.
Der Jüngling, ganz altdeutsch gekleidet, öffnete ihm die Tür und führte ihn in ein geräumiges Gemach, wo er den Alten in der Mitte auf einem kleinen Schemel vor einer großen aufgespannten grau grundierten Leinwand sitzend antraf.

As it is the Romantic Opera, in its strictest sense, which is the only species that you recognise as opera, properly so-called, how about musical Tragedies, and Comic Operas in modern costume? —you repudiate them altogether, I presume.

A few rags of striped canvas, whose colour had ceased to be distinguishable, and which seemed to have belonged to a costume such as the commonest sort of boatmen and porters wear, hung about his attenuated limbs.
Einige Lumpen gestreifter Leinwand, deren Farbe nicht mehr kenntlich und die sonst einem Schifferkleide, wie das gemeinste Volk der Lastträger und Ruderknechte es trägt, angehört zu haben schienen, hingen um den abgemagerten Körper.

And as you, Vincent, spoke of a blue frock coat, it is rather curious that forms, which a true poet has drawn in the way I have just instanced, appear to costume themselves of their own accord, just in the way most appropriate to their characters.
Und weil du, Vinzenz, gerade vom blauen Frack sprachst, es ist wohl ein eigen Ding, daß die Gestalt, die der wahre Dichter auf jene Weise schuf, sich von selbst ganz artig und ihrem Charakter gemäß kleidet«
