Ceiling Painting of Letters
About this space
The shallow dome of the Librarian's Room includes a central disc with a painting by Edward J. Holslag. Representing Letters, the seated figure of a beautiful woman holds a scroll in her hand and is accompanied by a child with a torch. In the ribbon banner is the Latin phrase "Litera scripta manet" (The written word endures).
