The Virgin and Oneirocritic Creatures

This illustration by Yoshitaka Amano depicts a young woman with pale skin and long black hair, wearing a long black coat, sitting amidst a multitude of fantastical creatures. A fantastical rhinoceros with red eyes watches over her. The animals around her have strange, half-real, half-imaginary forms. The color palette is dominated by shades of black, white, and brown. The atmosphere is mysterious and dreamlike, characteristic of Amano's style which often blends realism with fantasy.
