Engraving of a bearded man in a laurel wreath holding a woman reclining in his lap at the base of a huge gnarled tree in a dark forest.

Viviane (Doré)

A bearded man in a laurel wreath and long robe sits against a massive gnarled tree trunk, cradling a reclining woman whose head rests in his lap. Dark, dense forest surrounds them, with twisting roots and shadowy faces emerging from the bark. Rendered as a fine black-and-white steel engraving with dense crosshatching.
