"Mime, howling. ‘Ohe! Ohe! Oh! Oh!’", is a 1910 illustration by Arthur Rackham, depicting a scene from Norse mythology. The image showcases Rackham's characteristic style, known for its intricate detail and evocative use of line and shadow. In the foreground, a hulking, hairy figure, likely Mime, howls in anguish, his outstretched hand reaching towards a smaller, huddled figure. The barren landscape and twisting branches above heighten the sense of isolation and despair. This illustration is a striking example of Rackham's ability to capture the dark and fantastical elements of Norse mythology.
