Satan Starts from the Touch of Ithuriel's Spear

Henry Fuseli

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a scene with three nude figures. A figure on the right, with curly hair and large wings, holds a spear in one hand and grasps another figure's spear with the other. This second figure, with long hair and wings, lunges towards a third figure on the ground. The figure on the ground has short hair and appears to be attempting to rise. The background features dark shadows, a lion, and a distant landscape. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of gray, brown, and beige. The image appears to be a drawing or painting on aged paper.
