n. 630 The admirable patiences

Here, no moving masses! As in the "Desert of the Tartars", we are in the presence of a static world imbued with silence. Happy or not, these beings sit in wait for an unlikely event. Without reacting or complaining, they bear their condition with indifference, a metaphor of lives that are lost in waiting. This engraving reveals an accurate design and pleasant contrasts between light and dark tones.
