We Hear the Cannon (Wegener)

A rich and colorful narrative illustration, “Arabian Nights” style. In an opulent harem setting, three women dressed in puffy trousers and turbans lie on a mountain of giant cushions with striped and polka dot patterns. A turbaned man, looking frightened, hides or listens at the bottom left. A green parrot watches the scene. The title suggests a context of war or revolt perceived from the golden bubble of the seraglio. The style is very graphic, with sharp black outlines and vivid colors.
