Flickan i skogen, John Bauer, 1912

In this hauntingly beautiful illustration by John Bauer, a sorrowful girl stands alone among ancient, moss-covered trolls. Her delicate figure, draped in flowing white, contrasts starkly with the rough, gnarled forms of the mythical beings surrounding her. The deep shadows and intricate textures bring a sense of mystery and timelessness, evoking the rich folklore that inspired Bauer’s work.

A master of Scandinavian fairy tale art, Bauer often depicted the tension between the ethereal and the earthly—between the innocent and the unknown. This scene captures the essence of his storytelling, where nature and legend intertwine.

A stunning piece for those who appreciate dark romanticism, Nordic mythology, and the evocative artistry of one of Sweden’s most celebrated illustrators. Perfect for adding a touch of mysticism to any interior, from reading corners to gallery walls steeped in fantasy and history.
