The Chimera Gazed at all Things with Fear, from Night
A lithograph in black ink shows a winged, horned creature seen in profile, its large eye wide and watchful, a spiraling curl of hair or horn beside its face. Soft, scratchy strokes dissolve the dark background into shadow, with a faint glow rising below.
