Annie Besant & C.W. Leadbeater
On the left, a cone sits on a rounded green pedestal; the cone is divided into horizontal bands of pink, yellow, and blue, topped by a white apex, with numerous small five-pointed yellow stars floating in the space immediately around it. To the right, a darker, textured, cloud-like shape with a hook at the bottom extends downward, colored in muted purples and grays. The overall composition is minimal, utilizing bright, symbolic colors to represent metaphysical states against a stark, dark void.
This work is a plate from the 1901 Theosophical treatise 'Thought-Forms', in which the authors attempt to illustrate the 'clairvoyant' observation of human thoughts and emotions as distinct energetic shapes and colors.
