Description
An anthropomorphic chimera with horns and goat-like features leans over the western balustrade of Notre-Dame Cathedral, overlooking the Paris cityscape and sticking out its tongue as crows flutter by. This print shows the eighth state of the engraving.
The caption reads in the original French: Le stryge.
