Gouache image of two men, one with long blond hair and blue eyes, the other with green eyes and hair that transitions from blond to red to brown at different lengths. The blond holds the other's chin and they seem about to kiss.

Cú Chulainn and Ferdiad, two legendary Celtic warriors, shown lying chest to chest beneath furs in a wooden hut, lit by moonlight and a single torch. Medieval Irish monks in the 7th century recorded their story in manuscripts, describing them as inseparable companions who trained, fought, and even slept side by side. Their bond is remembered both as a tale of brotherhood and as a deeper love that survived even in times of war.
