Black and white engraving: a bare-chested man with a staff stands on rocks under lightning, while a body lies sprawled in the foreground beside a gnarled tree.

Q132773686

A standing bare-chested man grips a staff on a rocky outcrop beneath a stormy sky with forked lightning. Below, in the foreground, a figure lies sprawled on the rough ground, and a gnarled tree twists along the left slope, all rendered in dense black-and-white engraved hatching.

Español: Paisaje oscuro con figura de pie y cuerpo caído, grabado al buril

Un hombre de pie, con el torso desnudo, sostiene un bastón sobre un promontorio rocoso bajo un cielo tormentoso con relámpagos. En primer plano, una figura yace tendida sobre el terreno áspero, y un árbol retorcido recorre la ladera izquierda, todo en trama densa de blanco y negro.

Português: Paisagem sombria com figura em pé e corpo caído, gravura em metal

Um homem em pé, de torso nu, segura um bastão sobre um promontório rochoso sob um céu tempestuoso com relâmpagos. No primeiro plano, uma figura jaz estendida sobre o chão áspero, e uma árvore retorcida desce pela encosta à esquerda, tudo em hachuras densas em preto e branco.
