The Fairy of the Alps

A black lithograph shows two shadowy figures in the foreground, one raising an arm toward a luminous female figure floating in clouds above. Dense trees frame the left edge, and soft, feathered hatching creates a misty, nocturnal light.

Español: El hada de los Alpes

Una litografía en negro muestra dos figuras oscuras en primer plano, una de ellas alzando un brazo hacia una figura femenina luminosa que flota entre nubes en lo alto. Árboles densos enmarcan el borde izquierdo, y un rayado suave y difuminado crea una luz brumosa y nocturna.

Português: A fada dos Alpes

Uma litografia em preto mostra duas figuras sombrias em primeiro plano, uma delas erguendo o braço em direção a uma figura feminina luminosa que flutua entre nuvens acima. Árvores densas emolduram a borda esquerda, e hachuras suaves criam uma luz enevoada e noturna.
