Watercolor of a red-robed man crouching on a hillside as a white-robed woman floats above; a lion, a wolf-like beast and a leopard prowl nearby under a sunrise.

Dante running from the three beasts

A robed figure in red crouches on a grassy slope while a luminous female figure in white hovers above, gesturing toward him. Three beasts, a leopard, a lion and a she-wolf, prowl the rocky ground at right beneath a red sunrise over the sea, rendered in watercolor and ink.

Español: Dante huyendo de las tres bestias

Una figura con túnica roja se agacha en una ladera cubierta de hierba mientras una figura femenina luminosa, vestida de blanco, flota sobre él y le hace un gesto. Tres bestias, un leopardo, un león y una loba, merodean por el terreno rocoso a la derecha bajo un amanecer rojo sobre el mar, en acuarela y tinta.

Português: Dante fugindo das três feras
