About this work

A wide horizontal painting shows a marshy lakeside scene populated by reptilian creatures of varied sizes, including large lizard-like forms, spiny crested animals, and winged pterosaurs perched on the right. A crescent moon hangs in a pale blue sky above the water, while a dark red band of clouds glows over the wooded shore at the right.
