Iblis, as depicted in The Black Pen

Iblis, as shown in the Siyah Qalam, or The Black Pen. The author is unknown so it takes the mysterious attribution of the Master of the Black Pen. Iblis is shown as a dark robed, bearded man in a headcover. The Wikimedia Commons article labels it "Encounter by Candlelight"; evidently, Iblis bears candles.
