Engraving of a bearded man in a laurel wreath holding a woman reclining in his lap at the base of a huge gnarled tree in a dark forest.

Viviane (Doré)

A bearded man in a laurel wreath and long robe sits against a massive gnarled tree trunk, cradling a reclining woman whose head rests in his lap. Dark, dense forest surrounds them, with twisting roots and shadowy faces emerging from the bark. Rendered as a fine black-and-white steel engraving with dense crosshatching.

Español: Viviana (Doré)

Un hombre barbudo con corona de laurel y larga túnica está sentado contra el tronco enorme y retorcido de un árbol, sosteniendo a una mujer recostada con la cabeza sobre su regazo. Un bosque oscuro y denso los rodea, con raíces sinuosas y rostros sombríos que asoman de la corteza. Grabado en blanco y negro con denso rayado cruzado.

Uma floresta escura e densa os cerca, com raízes sinuosas e rostos sombrios surgindo da casca. Gravura em preto e branco com denso hachurado cruzado.
