Music beside the Garden Pool: Willy Pogany
Two figures stand close together in the shade of dense trees, one lifting a circular instrument above the shoulder. Pale faces and garments break through the dark foliage. Their reflections extend into a pool along the lower edge of Willy Pogany’s Rubaiyat illustration. The dark enclosure gives this small encounter a secluded atmosphere, with light concentrated upon gesture and reflection.
