    A stone lithograph, issued in a series of 150 prints by Kent with printer George Miller, associated with the 8 Beowulf-themed lithographs produced by Kent at the same time and in the same way. In Rockwellkentiana (see Authentication, below), Kent and Zigrosser list it as number 55 among Kent's stone lithographs and indicate that it was "done at the time and in the spirit of the Beowulf Illustrations" (50). It is described as "a figure of a man by a tree stump on a mountain top" (50).
