Her Er Levemaate Unger 1894

"Her Er Levemaate Unger" (Here Are Live Worms) is a whimsical illustration by Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen, created in 1894. The image portrays a large, anthropomorphic bird, dressed in a cloak and holding a worm, offering it to a group of smaller chicks nestled in a rock formation. A cauldron overflowing with worms hangs from the bird's leg, illustrating the plentiful supply of food. Kittelsen's characteristically charming and humorous style is evident in the depiction of these creatures, bringing a touch of folklore to the scene. The illustration is reminiscent of the artist's other popular works, often featuring fantastical creatures and landscapes from Norwegian mythology.
