Catalogue Note
Reproduced as one (of twenty) coloured plates within Dulac's 1909 illustrated edition of Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam. The drawing illustrates Quatrain LV:
Oh, plagued no more with Human or Divine,
To-morrow's tangle to itself resign,
And lose your fingers in the tresses of
The Cypress-slender Minister of Wine.
