This sketch shows a dark, towering figure holding a staff and a crown. Around them, ghostly faces float in the background, some with skulls for heads. The figure’s body is twisted, and their cloak swirls like smoke. On the ground, a small animal lies still, while a hand reaches up from the bottom left corner. The artist used sharp lines and deep shadows to make everything feel uneasy. The faces in the background look like they’re watching but aren’t quite real. This is made using etching, drypoint.
