and when he depicted the sorrow of legendary lovers; the wrath of a sword…

bearing; enraged shah; and a hero’s expression of fear as he dodged the attack

of a dragon。

“Perhaps  Enishte  wanted  Olive  to  do  the  last  picture  that  would  show  in

great  detail;  in  the  style  of  the  Europeans;  Our  Sultan’s  face  and  manner  of

sitting;” Black said。

Was he trying to confuse me?

“Supposing  this  were  the  case;  after  Olive  killed  Enishte;  why  would  he

abscond with a picture he was already familiar with?” I said。 “Or; if you like;

why would he murder Enishte in order to see that picture?”

We both pondered these questions for a while。

“Because  there’s  something  missing  in  that  painting;”  said  Black。  “Or

because  he  regrets  something  he  did  and  is  scared  by  it。  Or  even…”  he

thought for a while。 “Or; having killed Enishte; he might’ve taken the painting

to do further harm; for the sake of having a memento; or even for no reason at

all。 Olive is; after all; a great illustrator who’d naturally have a lot of respect for

a beautiful painting。”

of  his  boyhood  and  youth:  He  was  so  handsome  that  those  who  saw  him

didn’t  believe  their  eyes  and  wanted  a  second  look。  I’ve  always  been

astonished by the miracle of his being as talented as he is handsome。 He’s a

master  of  color  and  this  is  his  greatest  strength;  he  painted  passionately;

reeling with the pleasure of applying color。 But I cautioned Black that Butterfly

was flighty; aimless and indecisive。 Anxious to be just; I added: He’s a genuine

miniaturist  who  paints  from  the  heart。  If  the  arts  of  ornamentation  are  not

meant to cater to intelligence; to speak to the animal within us; or to bolster

the pride of the Sultan; that is; if this art is meant to be only a festival for the

eyes; then Butterfly is indeed a true miniaturist。 He makes wide; easy; blithe

curves; as if he’d taken lessons from the masters of Kazvin forty years ago; he

confidently  applies  his  bright;  pure  colors;  and  there’s  always  a  gentle

circularity hidden in the arrangement of his paintings; but I’m the one who
