A Tale of Wonder: devil, monk and statue in a churchyard
A watercolour framed under a cartouche reading 'A Tale of Wonder' shows a horned devil grappling with a grey-robed monk over a shrouded body, while a white statue in a stone niche looks on. A skull lies on the stone floor, and a fire glows at lower left in an arched, vaulted interior.
