Chimera Mythological Creature Illustration - Historical Engraving #2060763 (License: Personal Use)

This detailed line engraving illustrates the Chimera, a monstrous creature from Greek mythology famously slain by Bellerophon. The image shows a lion’s body with a goat’s head emerging from its back and a serpentine tail, rendered in fine cross-hatching typical of Renaissance-era woodcuts or engravings. The creature stands poised on two rectangular plinths, suggesting a symbolic or heraldic representation rather than a naturalistic depiction.
