About this work

This wood engraving depicts a witch flying on a broomstick, surrounded by a group of people in the background. The witch is wearing a pointed hat and a long robe, and she appears to be in motion, with her broomstick angled upwards. The people in the background are dressed in old-fashioned clothing and seem to be watching the witch as she flies by. The engraving features bold lines and shading, with a focus on texture and detail. The overall effect is one of dynamic energy and movement, as if the witch is about to take off into the air.
