She Covers the Whole Country | Theodor Kittelsen | 1904

Pesta, the personification of plague in Norwegian folklore, advances along a path between timber houses beneath a range of pale, jagged mountains. Her dark hood and gaunt face interrupt the muted ochres and greys of the settlement. Made in 1904 using pencil, watercolour, charcoal and coloured crayon, Kittelsen’s work brings an imagined threat into a recognisable rural setting. The steep terrain and tightly grouped buildings leave the village looking exposed to the figure moving through it.
