Évocation de Kundry (2e planche)

Fantin-Latour, Henri, 1836-1904 · 1883

Klingsor sits at the top of a tower with a circular enclosure that opens to the sky. Leaning on an open book that he holds with his left hand, he reads magical words of evocation and his right arm confirms them with authority. In front and below of him, seen almost from behind, Kundry rises in the mist. Her hair is scattered and one arm in is in the air. Her other arm is folded before her eyes, in an attitude of despair.
