More about this artwork

Arthur Rackham’s 1911 painting, "There’s an old woman dwells upon Tappington Moor," transports us into a captivating, eerie landscape that is as mysterious as it is enchanting. The artwork depicts a solitary old woman, bent with age, navigating a barren moor. She dons a pointed hat, suggesting at her possible identity as a witch, and appears enthralled in the act of scattering something on the ground, possibly seeds or perhaps something more arcane. A jet-black cat, the quintessential companion in many mystical tales, follows closely at her heels, adding an air of sorcery and folklore to the scene.The moor itself stretches out vast and empty under a sky filled with billowing clouds, through which a flock of birds can be seen soaring or perhaps fleeing. A lone, rugged tree and a simple, thatched hut add to the desolate yet magical quality of the landscape, creating a feel of timelessness and a hint of foreboding.Rackham's masterful use of muted tones and his expert handling of the line work evoke a sense of the windswept chill of the moor. The light ink washes bring softness to the scene while the detailed drawing captures the harsh, unpredictable beauty of the rural setting.

Arthur Rackham (19 September 1867 – 6 September 1939) was an English book illustrator. He is recognised as one of the leading figures during the Golden Age of British book illustration. His work is noted for its robust pen and ink drawings, which were combined with the use of watercolour, a technique he developed due to his background as a journalistic illustrator.
