Etching of two robed figures riding a scaly serpent-bodied monster with a bearded human face and clawed arms, against a cloudy background.

Virgil and Dante riding Geryon through Hell, etching by Pinelli, 1825

An etching showing two robed figures seated on the back of a scaly, serpentine monster with a bearded human face and clawed arms, set against clouds. The fine parallel hatching gives the coiling body and drapery depth and texture in a monochrome print.
