On the ex libris of Kálmán Harsányi (1876-1929), a poet and writer, there are four naked female figures against a crowded background of geometrical and architectural motifs (partly steeples and domes), creating a fairy-tale, exotic atmosphere against the black background. On the basis of their attributes, the figures represent four branches of art: literature, dance, fine arts and music. The background at their feet is decorated with various, simple elements, scrolls and geometrical motifs.
