The Changeling c. 1780

Henry Fuseli's "The Changeling", a 1780s drawing, depicts a woman discovering a monstrous creature in her cradle, while a ghostly figure carrying a baby is being lifted into the clouds. The work, executed in monochrome, captures the horror and unease of a supernatural encounter. The contorted bodies and exaggerated expressions contribute to the unsettling atmosphere, characteristic of Fuseli's "Romantic" style.
