The blue-robed figure within folded wings
A tall pale figure is enclosed within dark blue wings whose tips rise above the head. Sweeping lines follow the robe and the rounded lower contour. The drawing concludes the group of four anonymous spirit illustrations in Swiney’s 1909 book, with its source attribution retained in the accompanying record.
