This is a black and white etching depicting a nightmarish scene. The background is entirely black, creating a stark contrast with the figures. Several human-like figures are depicted with large, bat-like wings, seemingly in flight. In the center, a figure is seated or crouched atop a larger, more defined bat-winged creature. This central figure has arms outstretched, appearing to either control or be part of the winged beast. The style is highly detailed with intricate linework, creating a sense of texture and movement. The figures are slender and somewhat distorted, contributing to the unsettling atmosphere. Other figures with wings are scattered around, some appearing to be falling or gliding. The overall impression is one of darkness, fear, and a surreal, dreamlike quality. The etching is reminiscent of gothic or expressionist art, with a focus on emotional intensity and symbolic imagery.
