Illustration til "Uden hoved og hale" 1855 - 1935

"Illustration til "Uden hoved og hale"", a 1855-1935 black and white illustration by Carl Poulsen, depicts a scene of fantastical horror. A nude female figure with wings stands on a bridge above a gathering of grotesque creatures. The use of dark tones and dramatic lighting creates a sense of unease and mystery. The illustration is a haunting depiction of the supernatural, reminiscent of gothic literature and art. It is a powerful example of Carl Poulsen's talent for capturing the macabre and the fantastical. This work can be viewed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
