Español: Benvenuto Cellini, Acto III: La fundición de Perseo

Un hombre barbado con jubón oscuro y cuello blanco se arrodilla sobre un fondo oscuro, con un brazo extendido hacia una forma pálida en lo alto de un tronco de árbol a la derecha. Hecha en litografía negra sobre papel marfil, la escena nocturna está llena de sombras texturizadas y un tenue horizonte urbano.
