A Black moon is behind her while a female beast in the right corner squeezes a heart into a glass. A skull lies in the left corner surrounded by poppies.

This watercolor is very similar to the one sold in our September 2007, but with compositional changes; Graverol was known to work the same composition with variations. [bidding/details]
