Violin on Velvet Chair in Predawn Lanzhou

by Malcolm Hartman

Warm lamplight spills across the curve of a wooden violin resting on a deep red velvet chair. The instrument's varnish reflects the soft glow, highlighting the grain of the wood and the polished black fingerboard. Behind the chair, heavy stage curtains hang in vertical folds, partially obscured by a thin layer of atmospheric haze. Coiled black cables snake across the dark floorboards, disappearing into the shadows near the stage edge. The distant street lamps cast a cool blue spill that touches the lower hem of the velvet and the metal tuning pegs. One shadow falls sharply across the chair's armrest, defining the texture of the crushed fabric against the smooth wood of the neck. The predawn darkness holds the space still.
