This 1896 woodcut by Jean Caldain, entitled *Untitled, plate from Je regardais et je vis...*, features a haunting image of a monstrous creature with exaggerated features and wings. The print is characterized by its stark black and white contrasts, a typical feature of woodcuts, and the dark, almost menacing atmosphere. Caldain's works often explore themes of fantasy and the grotesque, creating a sense of unease and wonder. The artwork, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a powerful example of late 19th-century printmaking.
