Blazing Eyes
All Resolutions
Whenever Muirland turned around, she fixed her blazing eyes on him, eyes on which no eyelash cast a shadow.
Description:
A female figure appears to be floating behind a man in traditional Scottish dress as he rides a galloping horse past fallen headstones, while other ghostly silhouettes are visible in the background.
This lithograph is an illustration for L’œil sans paupières (Eyes without eyelids), a short story by Philarète Chasles.
The caption reads in the original French: Toutes les fois que Muirland se retournait, elle fixait sur lui des yeux flamboyants sur lesquels aucun cil ne dessinait son ombre.
