The Master and Margarita
From the album “Watercolors by Gennady Kalinovskiy”
The light came closer, and Margarita saw the illuminated face of a man, tall and black, holding this very lamp. It was Koroviev, also known as Fagott. True, Koroviev's appearance had changed considerably. The flickering light was not reflected in a cracked pince-nez, which should have been thrown in the garbage long ago, but in a monocle, which was also cracked. The mustache on the impudent face was curled and pomaded, and Koroviev's blackness was explained very simply—he was in a tailcoat. Only his chest was white.
