It’s undeniably long, but I’m thoroughly enjoying the philosophical posturing of the miniaturists. The debates about art, style, divinity, and influence are where this really sings for me. The murder plot feels almost secondary to the aesthetic argument, and I’m quite happy about that.

The murder spends the night at various haunts, including a “soup kitchen” and a coffeehouse telling stories about style, blindness, and horses. Satan tells of his origins, makes two refutations of his involvement with evil, and refutes the Frankish style—he chose not to bow down to Man. Shekure sneaks into Black’s room in the middle of the night, questioning his involvement in the murder, and hears a sound.

The three miniaturists each make their depiction of a horse.

Black and Osman continue going through illustrations looking for a “signature” to give away the murderer. The illustration found on Elegant’s body is delivered to them from Shekure, where they find an irregularity in the nose. They pore through piece upon piece looking for a matching inconsistency.

Master Osman and Black begin the work of locating the consistent “signatures” of each miniaturist across the various paintings. Master Osman gives a history and personality traits of each.
