More about this artwork

Arthur Rackham's 1911 illustration titled "There's an old woman dwells upon Tappington Moor" captures the essence of English folklore with its unique blend of mystery and rustic charm. In this ethereal depiction, Rackham portrays an old woman, bent and cloaked, with a pointed witch's hat, walking across a deserted moor. Accompanied only by a black cat, symbolizing superstition and witchcraft, she seems to dance or chant, a set of cabbages trailing behind her, adding an element of the surreal to the scene.The landscape is sparse and open, dotted with a lone, leafless tree and a simple thatch-roofed cottage that suggests isolation and the harsh living conditions of the moor. Rackham's signature style of muted colors and intricate line work adds a dream-like quality to the image, while the cloudy sky and flock of distant birds evoke a sense of impending unease.This artwork is a beautiful example of Rackham's ability to weave narrative and setting into a single captivating image, inviting viewers to ponder the story of the old woman and the nature of her existence on Tappington Moor.
