Original art from the book Vaesen. The original sketches are the hand drawn foundation of what later becomes my finished illustrations so they’re all pencils on paper. Naturally, as unique originals, there’s only one of each. The size of the piece is 21 x 29,7 cm (roughly 8,3 x 11,7"). 

Näcken is a mysterious, dangerous water spirit living in rivers and rapids, brooks and lakes. He often tries to drown careless bathers, or lure people into his underwater kingdom and hold them prisoner there. Flowering water lilies are a sure sign that the Neck is nearby, in which case it would be wise to bind him by sticking a knife into the shore before going for a swim.

The illustration is from the book Vaesen.
