Dark mezzotint of a woman with a raised sword and sack striding through a cave past demons, winged creatures and a snarling dog.

Dulle Griet (Mad Meg) entering hell, mezzotint after Teniers

A woman in a long dress and apron strides toward the right, raising a sword and carrying a sack, as demons, winged creatures and a snarling dog gather in a dark cave. At left, a cluster of grotesque figures and a pale horse rest on a rocky ledge, lit by a glowing opening on the right.
