Sphinx, Thames, London

A black-and-white etching shows a stone sphinx with a striped nemes headdress resting its arms on a stone embankment, gazing upward and to the right. Bare winter trees frame the scene, with faint buildings and water behind the parapet, and a stone stairway descends in the foreground.
