| Commentary | A naked woman lying on an sphinx; behind it, in shadow, the devil.
There is not an specific reference in the chapter for this image; maybe, it is an interpretation of the duality of devil; "usando en esto del artificio que el demonio usa cuando quiere engañar a alguno que está puesto en atalaya de mirar por sí: que se transforma en ángel de luz, siéndolo él de tinieblas" (33:1). Good ilustration. |
