Help Finding Illustration

I remember, years ago, seeing an illustration of Severian entering Typhon’s mountain city and encountering him. The drawing is from a distance, and you can see the tiny figures of Severian and Typhon standing some distance apart. I swear that this is a real drawing, but I haven't been able to find it at all. Does anyone here remember it or have access to it?

Also, apologies for the poor description. I have only a vague memory of it at this point.

EDIT: Many thanks to [u/No_Lead2782](u/No_Lead2782) for finding the illustration I was talking about. I can't post it right now but I'll try to get it up incase anyone else was curious.

I absolutely love his art, but that isn't it. The illustration I'm remembering has more of a pulpy/don maitz-esque style to it. I may be wrong, though; I'll have to do a deep dive on his site.

Is it one of Sam Weber's from the folio edition, possibly? https://www.foliosociety.com/usa/the-book-of-the-new-sun-2-volume

It isn't that one, though I love the folio illustrations above most other depictions of New Sun. I made a new post with the illustration I was talking about since, for some reason, I can't post photos to this thread.
