Scene of Witchcraft and Devil Worship

Pen and brown ink with brown wash on laid paper shows a crowded night scene. Winged figures hover at upper left, a central cluster of demonic and animal forms rises above a fire, and nude women stand among robed figures. At right, a skeleton holds a flaming torch beside a pedestal bearing an urn.
