A Rembrandt Sonata
“The painting itself was burned, a stroke
of natural genius. The new frame
holds only dead man, his soles facing;
assistant, holding skull piece like an
offertory basin; and scalpel
in those hovering hands; nothing left
of studio, men in black, white ruffs,
pink faces. Damp logs licked
by the torchfire of Doctor Deyman. “
Uit A Rembrandt Sonata, - John Harris Beck (2008)
