The White Figure and the Fallen Knight
A pale standing figure rises above a dark fallen warrior within a symmetrical ornamental design. Sweeping lines, a black heart and a circular golden emblem extend the composition upwards. Pogány uses the page as a symbolic introduction to the Swan Knight’s tale.
