Witch Riding a Phallus[1] is an etching after a now-lost design by Parmigianino, 1530s.
This image is reproduced in Gilles Néret, Erotica Universalis (Köln: Taschen, 1994; repr. 1996 and 2000), where it is entitled “Witches’ Sabbath”, and in Charles Zika's Exorcising Our Demons: Magic, Witchcraft, and Visual Culture in Early Modern Culture (Leiden: Brill, 2003) where it is given the title “Witch Riding a Phallus.”
There is a print in the Department of Prints and Drawings, the British Museum.
