The Abduction of Proserpine on a Unicorn
An etching showing a rearing unicorn carrying two figures: a nude woman held in the arms of a muscular bearded man who leans over its back. The dark, finely hatched lines describe a stormy sky with billowing clouds, a rocky hillside, and a distant landscape on white paper.
