About Here is a piece of a troll herb which nobody else but me can find

The artwork, titled “Here is a piece of a troll herb which nobody else but me can find”, was created by John Bauer in 1912. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) art movement and is categorized as an illustration. The artwork is part of the series “Among gnomes and trolls”.

In this evocative illustration, a colossal troll, draped in flowing garments and adorned with gold jewelry, presents a small herb to a curious child. The troll’s long, silky hair obscures its face, adding a mysterious air to its already imposing presence. The child, diminutive in comparison, stands in awe, highlighting the stark contrast between the two figures. The background, with its earthy tones and whimsical flora, sets the scene in an enchanting forest, embodying the quintessential essence of fairy tales and folklore. The detailing in the artwork, from the troll’s textured skin to the delicate folds of fabric, showcases Bauer’s meticulous artistry and his ability to bring mythical tales vividly to life.
