The Sorcerer (cave art)

[1] In his sketches of the cave art, Henri Breuil drew a horned humanoid torso and the publication of this drawing in the 1920s[2] influenced many subsequent theories about the figure.

Hutton's theory led him to conclude that reliance on Breuil's initial sketch resulted in many later scholars erroneously claiming that "The Sorcerer" was evidence that the concept of a Horned God dated back to Paleolithic times.

[4] Likewise, Peter Ucko concluded that inaccuracies in the drawing were caused by Breuil's working in dim gas-light, in awkward circumstances, and that he had mistaken cracks in the rock surface for man-made marks.

"[3] Breuil's interpretation of the drawing as a shaman strongly influenced writer Pat Mills in the creation of the Lord Weird Slough Feg, an early antagonist in the Slaine comics.

In Sunset of the Sabertooth, a 1996 installment of the Magic Tree House children's book series, the Sorcerer is depicted as a shaman-like traveler who rescues the protagonists, Jack and Annie, and helps take them home.
