Fragment of the curtain designed by Henryk Siemiradzki

On the left side of Comedy, there is a young woman in a black robe. It depicts Tragedy, which is suggested by an ancient mask on its forehead. She looks sadly to the left at Eros - a winged young man mourning the urn with the ashes of his Beloved Heart. In the background on the left you can see the bluish-gray phantoms and, in the far plane, the monument of the Sphinx against the cloudy sky illuminated by lightning. The sky is dark... disturbing... Two figures loom at the foot of the Sphinx: white and black. It is the epitome of good and evil fighting for world domination.
