Two drawings...

島根県の玉造温泉の「保性館」という宿に泊まりました。

上の一枚は、館内にかけられていた一枚です。小泉八雲と妻セツの絵だそうです。

妙に惹きつけられる絵でした。大好きなルチアン・フロイトの絵と同じ感じがします。

なぜだろう?

I was staying at a hotel in Shimane.  

I found this painting in the hotel. One western looking gentleman and a Japanese lady was Yakumo Koizumi and his wife, Setsu.

I don't know why, but I was strangely drawn into the painting. I felt something same with my favorite Lucian Freud's painting below. 

Why did I felt that way...?
