"Study of a Witch" is an 1878 painting by Luis Ricardo Falero, a Uruguayan artist known for his romantic and symbolist works. The painting depicts a nude woman flying on a broomstick, surrounded by a sky full of bats, creating a visually arresting and somewhat eerie scene. This small-scale work, measuring just 18.5 x 23.4 cm, showcases Falero's skill in capturing movement and atmosphere through loose brushstrokes and a vibrant color palette.
