Seen on Bluesky: Gustaw Gwozdecki’s “Evening Melancholy”, c.1905.
I didn’t know it on sight, but somehow it felt familiar. I wonder if I saw it a long time ago and it re-surfaced from my subconscious when I needed a creepy scene for the “Festival of Furies” section of “Three Festivals” (in Tales from the Magician’s Skull 9).
