Painting of a tall bearded seer with a staff in a glowing cloud above a crouching nude man with a sword beside a dark ledge.

Tiresias appears to Ulysses during the sacrifice

A tall, bearded old seer with a staff stands in a pale, cloud-like glow above a crouching, muscular man who grips a sword beside a dark, rocky ledge. Ghostly white figures drift in the sky behind, and a dark carcass lies in the lower left of this dramatic, somber painting.
