The Bishop and the Demon (recto) by Salvador Dali, is a drawing of a bishop and a demon. The drawing is in shades of brown. The bishop is on the left, has a mitre on his head and holds a staff in his right hand. He faces right. He wears a long robe with a sash. The demon is on the right, flying, with wings and a tail. The demon faces left and appears to have horns. The background shows abstract lines and shapes. The overall impression is one of a religious or supernatural scene. The image appears to be done in watercolor. The paper the drawing is on appears to have a rough texture. The image has a thin black border. There are small marks and stamps on the bottom left. The image is somewhat abstract.
