Description |
Thin black contour line drawing. A small silhouetted figure falls past a tall zig-zag staircase and tall city walls, other figures look down from the top of the walls. A horse looks up from the bottom left corner to the scene above and several wavy vertical lines extend from it to the top of the image. In the background, gray lines and shapes form the impression of many landscapes in the distance. Illustration in a monograph of an epic poem. Edition: 101/300 |
