Preparatory sketch by Henry Holiday for an illustration to Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark".
There seems to be a pictorial reference to the Sphinxes' breast in the sketch.

Left: Detail from an #illustration by #HenryHoliday to fit8 in #LewisCarroll’s "#TheHuntingOfTheSnark" (1876).
Right: Detail from the painting "#TheBard" (c. 1817) by #JohnMartin (mirror view of a horizontally compressed detail).
Background: Segment of John Martin's "The #Bard".
I suggest that the #monstrance-like shape of the tree drawn by Henry Holiday is a #PictorialReference to the monstrance-like shape of a tree in John Martin's #painting.
