BÄCKFROAN by artist Linnea Strid

Oil painting on paper in an antique, oval frame, 6.2" x 8.2"

BÄCKFROAN is “the lady of the stream.” She lives near watercourses and whenever a man comes near it she will put a spell on him and abduct him. If she finds out that he has behaved nicely towards the women and children in his life, she will let him go. If not, she will show no mercy.
