An engraved-style illustration shows a lone traveler in a long coat and hat at a crossroads, looking towards a castle on a misty distant hill.

A dark and melancholic illustration in the style of wood engraving, inspired by 19th-century maritime prints, showing a lone traveler facing forward, wearing a long coat and a black hat. He arrives at the top of a hill at the crossroads of four winding paths on a misty island. In the distance, below him, behind the traveler, an ancient stone harbor is partially hidden by the morning fog. Rolling hills stretch to the horizon, dotted with thorny vegetation. The traveler’s shadow stretches unnaturally long across the cobblestones, as if pulled by an invisible force moving toward us. Style: fine ink hatching with soft watercolor washes, evoking the dark and dreamlike landscapes of Arthur Rackham and Gustave Doré. Dark, unsettling, and full of hidden meanings. See more
