The Blue Garden and Domed Pavilion: Willy Pogany
Tall palms rise above walls, a domed pavilion and smaller garden structures in a cool blue-green field. A pale crescent appears near the edge of the sky. Willy Pogany’s Rubaiyat illustration gives the scene continuity through its restricted colour and long vertical forms. Dark openings and reflected light suggest depth without disturbing the surrounding calm.
