The work of a master reeks not of the sweat of the brow - suggests no effort - and is finished from its beginning.

The work of a master reeks not of the sweat of the brow - suggests no effort - and is finished from its beginning.

The work of a master reeks not of the sweat of the brow - suggests no effort - and is finished from its beginning.

The work of a master reeks not of the sweat of the brow - suggests no effort - and is finished from its beginning.
