Description

"Isack Elyas's painting of a company at a table with a lute player (hearing), a woman with a dog on her lap (smell), and a man reading a letter (sight) ... The remaining two senses, taste and touch--represented by the man with upturned glass and the man holding a hat in his hand--are mutually interchangable." (M. Kyrova, 1994)
