The King in Yellow – In the Court of the Dragon

In this story the narrator leaves a church because he is scared of the organist. He runs though Paris in fear that he is being followed, in doing so he passes the place de la concorde. The fountain there is featured in the image, using the figures in place of the characters. The statue is looking over his shoulder in a paranoid manner (well at least it can be seen that way), with the dark imposing figure behind. I have changed around the composition of the fountain so that these two figures line up in this manner. As with all of the images in this series a heavily yellow colour scheme has been used to show the creeping influence of eponymous play. The figures and forms have not been done that well and I would have preferred for the background figures to have been darker and more mysterious.
