Guilty As Charged 3 - Lechery


8x8 inches (unframed); Watercolour and Pen drawing on Executive Bond paper (Click on image to enlarge)


A Shaikh beheld a harlot, and quoth he,
“You seem a slave to drink and lechery”;
And she made answer, “What I seem I am,
But, Master, are you all you seem to be?”

- Omar Khayyam

  1. A true depiction of the title. Was the quote from Khayyam an inspiration?

  2. Thank you! Sorry for the delayed response, I was on vacation and did not have access to the internet! The quote from Omar Khayyam was not a direct inspiration. I found the quote later and was really amazed that it beautifully expressed what I tried to depict in this artwork! So, I had to use it here! :)
