Glowing yellow ghost in white robes beside a tombstone inscribed Ravia, as a crouched man in red gestures toward it under lightning, near a ruined Gothic arch.

The ghost of Ravia, dressed in white with blood on her dress, appears to her husband Cazem during a storm at night, in front of Gothic ruins, and asks him to avenge her murder. Coloured aquatint, ca. 1810.

A glowing yellow ghostly figure in long white robes rises from a cloud of light before a stone tomb inscribed with the name Ravia, while a crouched man in a red cloak and blue tunic gestures toward it. Jagged lightning streaks across a dark night sky above a ruined Gothic arch and a bare tree.

Español: El fantasma de Ravia se aparece a Cazem durante una tormenta

Una figura fantasmal de tono amarillo brillante, con largas vestiduras blancas, surge de una nube de luz frente a una tumba de piedra con el nombre Ravia, mientras un hombre agachado con capa roja y túnica azul la señala. Relámpagos irregulares cruzan el cielo nocturno sobre un arco gótico en ruinas y un árbol desnudo.

Português: O fantasma de Ravia aparece a Cazem durante uma tempestade

Uma figura fantasmagórica de tom amarelo brilhante, com longas vestes brancas, surge de uma nuvem de luz diante de um túmulo de pedra com o nome Ravia, enquanto um homem agachado, de capa vermelha e túnica azul, aponta para ela. Relâmpagos irregulares cortam o céu noturno acima de um arco gótico em ruínas e de uma árvore sem folhas.
