Movements

The artistic and literary currents this life ran through.

A nude young man stands on a rocky ledge holding a long red-shafted spear upright. A sphinx with a young woman's head and bare torso, a tawny lion's body and large blue-grey wings has sprung against his chest, its front paws hooked into him, staring up into his face while he looks steadily down at her. On the ledge below lie a pale human foot, scattered fingers, a red cloth and a gold crown; a narrow rocky gorge and grey sky fill the background, with an ornamented urn on a column at the right.
