Watercolor of a red-robed man crouching on a hillside as a white-robed woman floats above; a lion, a wolf-like beast and a leopard prowl nearby under a sunrise.

Dante Running from the Three Beasts

A robed figure in red crouches on a grassy slope while a luminous female figure in white hovers above, gesturing toward him. Three beasts, a leopard, a lion and a she-wolf, prowl the rocky ground at right beneath a red sunrise over the sea, rendered in watercolor and ink.
