Giacinto Gaudenzi - The Witch

Evocative page from this great, although very underrated, Italian artist (b. 1945).
It was published as page 1 of the short story "La Strega" (The Witch), in a series of tales set in Ancient Rome, titled "All'ombra delle aquile" (In the Shadow of the Eagles). This series was originally published in the Italian magazine "L'Eternauta" (1983-1984), then collected in a beautiful book released in 1986.

(pen & ink on artboard, roughly 13"x 19")
