Even demons require a moment.

Belphégor, associated with sloth and inventive idleness, appears here in one of the most unexpectedly human poses in nineteenth-century gothic illustration. In the 1863 edition of Dictionnaire Infernal, French illustrator Louis Le Breton renders him mid-contemplation — seated, hunched, and entirely committed to the task at hand. A historic example of 19th century French demonology illustration.

As an accent pillow, the engraving becomes a quiet punchline: classic Victorian seriousness paired with a scene that reads like academic burnout, in monochrome. Ideal for studies, libraries, reading nooks, and yes — bathrooms with taste.

Design Perspective

• Victorian gothic engraving aesthetic (1863)
