Kráka c1862 by Swedish Painter Mårten Eskil Winge (1825 - 1896); who was influenced by Norse mythology and was associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting.
A Larger Version On This Piece Is Available At My Pictorem Shop.
This painting is based on 13th century Norse mythology depicting Kráka the daughter of Siquid, the slayer of the dragon Fafnir; who was the legendary shield maiden Brynhildr.
The scene depicts Kráka as a blonde nude young woman on a cliff face by the sea, sitting on her clothes, which consist of a white blouse and a burgundy and blue dress; and a fishing net covering her waist area and most of her outstretched right leg and left knee on which her left forearm is resting.
Beside her right side, is her brown haired dog with a light tan patch on it's chest; as they both cast a gaze to their right on to the ocean waves.
By Kráka's right leg is a yellow onion with it's green leaves attached among some stone and light green-yellow grass; with additional green plants off to her left rising from the boulder she is relaxing on.
In the distance behind the dog we can see two sailboats near the shore; while to the left behind her we can see an elderly shepherd talking with a woman as he points toward the sea, while the goats he is herding behind them leisurely eat grass; and further afar there is a forest and mountain landscape.
