Rijksmuseum Roulette

The Bookshop and Lottery Agency of Jan de Groot in the Kalverstraat in Amsterdam, Isaac Ouwater, 1779
A group of men fight to enter the lottery agency. It is the start of the sale of the Generaliteitsloterij (Generality Lottery), forerunner of the still existing Staatslotterij (State Lottery). Hotel guests at either side look on amused, including a Black man (left). His presence was not unusual. More Black people lived in Amsterdam in the late 18th century than in the previous century.

Mad A. Argon :qurio:

#Lion portrait, with some fire elemental vibes. Or sun deity. Created somehow as a contrast to wolf I posted last week.
Not even planned at first, I started to see these connections during creating. Archetypes and symbols from mythologies.

Lion - light/day, fire, sun, gold
Wolf - night, ice, moon, silver

Not my fault I love symbols and find these everywhere :blobcatjoy:

Drawing of a lion face, front side, symmetric. It's mane is made of geometric or spiral patterns, with darker and brighter areas, looking somehow like shadows. Whole picture is in golden/orange/brown warm shades. Behind the head there is something like magic summoning circle drawn with thin gray lines.
