Traditional Art / Paintings / Illustration / Storybook

At full speed did she fly in her iron mortar

Pen and ink and watercolour.

Illustration for The Death of Koshchei the Deathless from Andrew Lang's The Red Fairy Book, published by The Folio Society, 2008. [link]

File scanned from a proof.

Baba Yaga is a very prominent figure in slavic folklore - a witch who travels through the air in her mortar, urging it on with her pestle and sweeping away her traces with a broom. Another of her famous appearances is in the tale of Vasilissa the Fair.

As a kid I was so afraid of her. She lives in a cottage on chicken legs and can smell you from miles.

Every time I stumble on your work it's like being brought back in the XIX century. Great illustration style. Truly great

I admit, I'm fascinated by Baba Yaga. The villainous is always so much more passionate than the princesses, don't you think?

Love it. I'm going to preoccupy myself with this legend and see if I can get her to chase me in a dream.

_{baba yaga is one of my favorite story tale villains. her hair seems to be a combination between smoke, ice cream, and some sort of sea monster. in other words, perfect. c:}
