The image is reminiscent of a classic fairy tale, with a stormy sky, a lone cottage and a mysterious old woman. Rackham is renowned for his illustrations of fairy tales and folklore, and this piece is a prime example of his characteristic style. The fine lines and delicate washes create a sense of mystery and enchantment, inviting the viewer to imagine the witch's story.
