The Death of Hildebrand
Summary
Interior scene. A young man is seated on a long couch, dressed in a brown top wirh red leggings and shoes. He rises up to embrace a ghost-like light grey/blue figure of a young woman, who appears to float next to him, her arms around his neck. Her hair streams out behind her, with a vapourous mass rising above her head. The night sky can be seen through a window on the right hand side.
