The Master and Margarita
From the album “Watercolors by Gennady Kalinovskiy”
Instead of Afranius, an unknown small and skinny man entered the balcony. The man who had arrived, under forty, was black, ragged, covered in dried mud, and looked wolfish, from under his brow. In a word, he was very unattractive and most likely resembled a city beggar, of whom many thronged on the temple terraces or in the bazaars of the noisy and dirty Lower City.
