Cupid leading a lame boy through a forest, watched by demons and animals. Watercolour by H.M. Brock, 1907.

A nude youthful figure reaches back to guide a boy with a crutch through a dense forest beside a huge, gnarled tree. Above and to the left, a dark bird flies among small creatures and hanging animals in the branches, while the boy's bent leg and crutch are drawn in fine, precise ink lines.

Español: Cupido guiando a un niño cojo por un bosque, observado por demonios y animales

Una figura desnuda y juvenil se inclina hacia atrás para guiar a un niño con muleta por un bosque denso, junto a un árbol enorme y retorcido. Arriba y a la izquierda, un ave oscura vuela entre pequeñas criaturas y animales colgados de las ramas, mientras la pierna doblada y la muleta del niño se dibujan con trazos finos y precisos.
