Three motifs from the novel—three Tarot cards: The Devil, The Lovers, and Death
The Devil with a cane, horns, and a tail
А tram was going on its way,
And someone died on it today.
Cat Behemoth with the head of the master of ceremonies. The head is displeased
Margarita above the Kremlin walls
The image shows a rough draft of the first chapter of The Master and Margarita. In 1932, however, this title did not yet exist. In the upper part of the sheet, Bulgakov is trying out titles for his future novel: The Great Chancellor, Satan, Here I Am, A Hat with a Feather (the last two are a reference to Mephistopheles), The Black Theologian, He Appeared, The Foreigner's Horseshoe (as is well known, the devil is supposed to have a hoof on one foot).
The precise rendering of Behemoth's Browning pistol and the Chekists' Mauser.
