Description

A black male figure in a loincloth raises both arms with clenched fists. A woman, dark but lighter than her male companion, leans forward, wrapping her left arm around his waist, with her right arm forward outstretched. The two figures stand at the edge of a precipice with thunder in front of them and dark clouds overhead.

For further description of the image as a black and white engraving, see The Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Museum.
