Orlando in a Fury Tearing up Trees

A bearded, muscular man stands nude except for a white drape, gripping a great uprooted tree trunk in a dark forest while a helmet and spear lie on the ground. Behind him on the right, a shadowy rearing horse and faces in the foliage intensify the frenzy of this etched engraving.

Español: Orlando en furia arrancando árboles

Un hombre barbado y musculoso permanece desnudo salvo por un paño blanco, aferrado a un gran tronco desarraigado en un bosque oscuro, mientras un casco y una lanza yacen en el suelo. Detrás, a la derecha, un caballo encabritado y rostros entre el follaje intensifican la furia de este grabado al aguafuerte.

Português: Orlando furioso arrancando árvores

Um homem barbudo e musculoso permanece nu, exceto por um pano branco, agarrado a um grande tronco arrancado em uma floresta escura, enquanto um elmo e uma lança jazem no chão. Atrás, à direita, um cavalo empinado e rostos na folhagem intensificam a fúria desta gravura em água-forte.
