Chimera Mythical Creature Illustration - Classic Line Art Drawing #1411337 (License: Personal Use)

This high-contrast pen-and-ink illustration depicts the Chimera from Greek mythology, featuring a lion’s head in front, a goat’s head emerging from its back, and a serpent for a tail-though only the upper portion is shown. The artist uses dense cross-hatching and fine contour lines to convey texture, musculature, and mythic gravitas, evoking Victorian-era natural history engravings. The composition emphasizes the creature’s ferocity and hybrid nature through dynamic angles and shadow play.
