The two women beside the dark pool
Two women stand at the edge of a dark pool enclosed by pale stonework and flowering trees. One wears a long blue dress, while the other leans towards her in red and gold robes. Dulac sets the figures against an intricate garden in this colour plate for The Stealers of Light.
