Glaucus and Scylla

About this work

This sketch shows three figures in a wild scene. On the left, a bearded man kneels on rocky ground, clutching a fish with a long, scaly tail. Two women stand to his right—one with her arms outstretched, the other holding her head back as if in shock. The background is rough, with jagged trees and a stormy sky. The fish’s tail is oddly shaped, almost like a mix of tentacles and scales. This might hint at a myth where sea creatures twist into strange forms.
