Second Vignette

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

The image features swirling lines and organic shapes forming an abstract scene. These shapes converge into a depiction of a castle-like structure and the outline of a person or creature with arms raised. The surrounding patterns evoke waves or clouds, adding an ethereal quality to the scene. The text below the illustration complements the detailed pictorial elements above.
