Nude figure guiding a boy with a crutch through a forest beside a gnarled tree, with creatures and a bird in the branches above.

Cupid leading a lame boy through a forest, watched by demons and animals

A nude youthful figure reaches back to guide a boy with a crutch through a dense forest beside a huge, gnarled tree. Above and to the left, a dark bird flies among small creatures and hanging animals in the branches, while the boy's bent leg and crutch are drawn in fine, precise ink lines.
