The Angel with the Key to the Bottomless Pit

Albrecht Dürer, 1498

This is a drawing of a medieval scene featuring angels, a demon-like creature, and an elaborate city in the background. Two winged figures are working together to subdue a dragon-like beast. The angels are wearing long robes, with one holding keys. The creature has scaled legs and a fierce expression. The background shows a detailed cityscape with towers and walls among mountains. A barren tree and small houses complete the scene.
