[Image description: A traditional gouache painting of the demon that visits Stephen in his bed in the film Penda's Fen. It is a close-up of the demon's face, cutting off as it moves to its forehead, chin, and cheeks. This portrait is constrained within a rectangle, which is a dark contrast against the white of the surrounding paper. The face is painted with a grey palette, mostly leaning towards blue and green tones, which gives it a cold feel. Its expression features a large, closed grin that sculpts its face upwards. Its eyes are set deep in it face, and piercing as they look towards the viewer. The part of the rectangle that doesn't feature its face is a deep, desaturated red.]

Penda's Fen (Alan Clarke, 1974)
