Illustrations for Faust: Méphistophélés in the air

Eugène Delacroix

Cleveland Museum of Art

A winged, horned figure with the body of a man and features resembling a goat or an animal with similar physical attributes is flying over a cityscape. The figure has large wings spread out to the sides, and its arms and legs are extended. The city below appears to have several buildings, including a church with a tall steeple. The image is in shades of gray, with darker tones used for shadows and lighter tones for highlights. Text is written in French at the bottom of the image.
