Draugen 1895

"Draugen", a 1895 work by Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen, depicts a horrifying figure emerging from a stormy sea. The Draugen, a malevolent water spirit from Norwegian folklore, is shown in an ominous, detailed pen and ink drawing, with a long white beard and wild hair, creating a sense of dread and mystery. The artwork is framed in a circular shape, suggesting a portal to a dark and supernatural world. This evocative image draws heavily on Norwegian folklore, emphasizing Kittelsen's signature style and the darker aspects of the Scandinavian imagination.
