About this work

This wood engraving features a dark, eerie scene with a large, twisted tree at its center. The tree's branches are adorned with grotesque, human-like faces, while its roots appear to be made up of more faces. In the background, a figure can be seen flying through the air, adding to the sense of unease. The engraving's use of cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer's eye into the dark, mysterious world depicted. The overall effect is one of foreboding and unease, as if the viewer is being pulled into a nightmarish realm.
