This is a wood engraving by French artist Gustave Doré, renowned for his dramatic and detailed illustrations. The image depicts a scene from the Arthurian legend, likely from Alfred Tennyson's "Idylls of the King." The composition showcases a dark and foreboding atmosphere, with two figures standing before a crumbling ruin. The artist's use of shadows and strong lines creates a sense of grandeur and melancholy, evoking the tragic downfall of the once-great King Arthur.
