Witch | 1897

This illustration of a witch from the book "Picturesque Russia," volume 5, published around 1897. The illustration depicts a witch flying through the night sky on a broomstick, surrounded by bats. Her hair flows wildly as she soars above a rural landscape under a full moon. The scene captures a dark and eerie atmosphere, typical of 19th century depictions of witches. The detailed linework and dramatic use of light and shadow give the illustration a gothic and mystical quality, reflecting the folklore and superstitions prevalent in Russia during that era. The artist of this piece is unknown.
