The last of the albums produced in Bordeaux offers a succession of untitled scenes in which an apparent representation of reality is combined with fantasy. This woman, covered with a mantle, armed with a sword and shield, and flying on the back of a great bat, recalls the scenes of witchcraft and madness depicted in the Caprichos, as well as the evil monster that populated the Disasters series.
