An etching depicts a stone gargoyle perched on a ledge, looking to our left. The creature has a lean torso with visible ribs, pointed ears, and two horns. It clutches a small animal in its paws. Fine lines and stippling create a weathered, pitted texture across the stone. In the distance, numerous rooftops and a domed tower recede toward a pale horizon under a lightly clouded sky.
