A spectacular large-format original by Olivier Ledroit, published across pages 78–79 of his 2015 artbook Fées & Amazones. The work combines Ledroit's elaborate fantasy imagery with a strong steampunk aesthetic, depicting a winged female figure accompanied by a cat amid intricate mechanical wings, handwritten documents, lace and collaged ephemera.

At 120 cm wide, this is a particularly imposing Ledroit original. Fées & Amazones was published by Glénat on 3 June 2015 as a 128-page collection devoted to Ledroit's fantastical women, including fairies, witches, geishas and other inhabitants of his imagined Faërie. Glénat simultaneously staged an exhibition-sale of the original illustrations from the book at Galerie Glénat in Paris, 3–30 June 2015.
