From 'neath the castle's dark retreat,
Her silent way she wended,
Each evening to the window seat
Where Lucifer attended.
And secretly, with never fail,
She watched his gracious pace,
Where vessels drew their pathless trail
Across the ocean's face.
Mihai Eminescu, Luceafărul, translated by Corneliu M. Popescu. Illustration by Octavian Smigelschi, 1904.

A young flute player by the sea, 1861
Larger than natural, the painting is 75"/57"
Note, the lizard, considered a good luck charm in many cultures, it symbolizes regeneration, so here the young boy carrying new seed.
This one plays the Aulos.
Called “aulete” he had a central role in the sacrifices and in the Panhellenic Games had the role of conductor in the ancient “orchestra”.
