Behind him hangs a pale draped curtain, and a silver ornate chair with carved detailing sits to the left beside a metal frame stand. Dark ornate chairs or seats appear in the lower foreground.2012-12-11December 11 20122012-12-11December 11 20122012-12-11A figure stands in heavy violet haze on a darkened stage, seen from behind with long dark hair and a wrap or cloth wound around the head.
