About this work
A woman with flowing dark hair sits astride a huge horned, multi-headed spotted beast at the center of a barren rocky terrain. Around her, dozens of nude men and women are scattered in poses of struggle, grief, and collapse; a serpent coils at the lower left and small figures grapple in the distant background.
Dense, tightly packed anatomy is modeled in warm ochre and reddish flesh tones against grey stone, with strong chiaroscuro defining muscles and gesture. The academic precision of the figure drawing intensifies the oppressive, nightmarish mood of an apocalyptic vision crowded with suffering bodies.
