Something elaborate - rococo? - about this, with some mystery about what is on the other side of that window.

An interesting observation, Bob. I was mainly interested in the rectilinear background behind the elaborate curves of the iron, but that style of blind is associated (for example, in film noir) with the concealment of evil. So I understand this better now, since that may well have been in the back of my mind.. Thanks.

super arabesque

Thanks, Gerard.

Remarkable mix of lines, and as you say, half mysterious...

Thankws, José.

Diagonals and curves give this a certain tension.

Thanks, Jean.

Interesting contrasts in shapes and shadows.

Thanks, George.
