The Angel's Egg

This illustration by Yoshitaka Amano depicts the heroine of 'The Angel's Egg' curled up on herself. The young woman has long, white hair and is dressed in a dark robe, appearing to be in a state of great distress. The fluid lines and pastel colors used create a melancholic atmosphere. Amano's characteristic style, a blend of fantasy and Japanese traditionalism, is evident in this work.
