Trios in Bad König

Still others deceive the onlooker:
The splendid frame around this is trompe l’oeil – painted on the wall but the window is real enough.
They often come in pairs:
which offers opportunities to play around with symmetry – or not.
Some are individuals
whether they are abandoned (at least for a while)
