Wine beneath the Tree: Willy Pogany’s Rubaiyat
Two figures stand close beneath a tall tree, one lifting a small cup towards the blue sky. A cloth and a large vessel rest on the ground beside them. Willy Pogany’s Rubaiyat illustration makes a simple outdoor gathering expansive through the long tree trunk and open atmosphere. The raised hand links the small shared occasion with the surrounding light.
