pit into which he’d been cast by his jealous brothers。 I quite enjoy painting
this scene from the romance of Joseph and Zuleyha; for it reminds us that envy
is the prime emotion in life。
There was a sudden lull。 I sensed their eyes upon me。 Should I cry? I caught
Black’s eye。 That vile scoundrel; he’s peering at us; like someone who’s been
sent here by Enishte Effendi to uncover the truth。
“Who could’ve perpetrated such a horrendous crime?” cried the oldest
brother。 “What kind of heartless beast could’ve slaughtered our brother; our
brother who wouldn’t dare harm an ant?”
He answered this question with his own tears; and I joined him; feigning
grief while I sought my own answer: Who were Elegant’s enemies? If it hadn’t
been me; who else could’ve murdered him? I recalled that some time ago—I
believe it was when the Book of Skills was being prepared—he would get
involved in arguments with certain artists inclined to dismiss the techniques
of the old masters and ruin the pages we illustrators had labored extensively
over; thus they would spoil the borders with the horrid colors used to
embellish more cheaply and quickly。 Who were they? Later; however; rumors
began to spread that the enmity had arisen not for this reason; but out of
petition for the affections of a handsome binder’s apprentice who worked
on the ground floor; but this was an old story。 And there were those who were
annoyed by Elegant’s dignity; his refinement and his erudite feminine
demeanor; but this had to do with another matter entirely: Elegant was
slavishly bound to the old style; a fanatic about the coordination of color
between gilding and illustration; and in the presence of Master Osman; he
would; for instance; point out the nonexistent faults of other miniaturists—
mine in particular—with gentle conceit。 His last quarrel had to do with an
issue about which Master Osman had; in past years; grown quite sensitive:
royal miniaturists who moonlighted; secretly accepting trivial missions
outside the auspices of the palace。 In recent years; after Our Sultan’s interest
had begun to wane and; along with it; the money ing from the Head
Treasurer; all the miniaturists started paying visits to the two…story houses of
the crass young pashas—and the best of the artists would go late at night to
visit Enishte。
I wasn’t at all bothered by Enishte’s decision to stop working on his—on
our—book or his excuse that it was ill…omened。 He had; of course; guessed
that the murderer who did away with brainless Elegant Effendi was one of us
who were embellishing his book。 Put yourself in his shoes: Would you invite a
