About this work

A black-and-white ink illustration shows an arch formed by gnarled, fibrous trunks or roots rising from two legs, with a rounded dome above and an irregular, clustered mass of forms on the right side. The hatched linework and contrast of dense black and open white areas give the image a dreamlike, fantastical character. The work is Franciszek Siedlecki's print 'Chimera' from 1907, held in the Wikimedia Commons collection.
