This image presents a dual-sided artwork, with two distinct scenes. On the left, a bishop is depicted, accompanied by a demon. The bishop is attired in a long robe and a mitre, while the demon is shown with wings and a tail. The background of this scene features a light brown hue. On the right side, a group of three demons are illustrated, grasping a knight. The demons are rendered in a dark brown color, set against a light brown background. Upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that the artwork is not a finished piece, but rather a sketch or study. The lines and shapes are rough and unfinished, suggesting that the artist was still in the process of developing their ideas. The Cleveland Museum of Art is home to this intriguing artwork.
