Edmund Dulac's illustration "Cerberus, the Black Dog of Hades" from the Picture Book for the Red Cross is a striking depiction of the three-headed hound that guards the entrance to the Underworld. Cerberus is rendered with a powerful and ferocious presence, his three heads snarling with bared teeth, while a woman figure with flowing robes stands in the distance. The use of rich, earthy tones and bold lines contributes to the illustration's dramatic and impactful composition.
