This is a "Vittra", from swedish folklore. These creatures lure men into the forest, and when they are deep in the forest, they turn their back and become invisible. The poor victim is now lost in the forest. There are versions of this tale. In some cases the guy is forced to father a child with a vittra. From that moment whenever she calls, he must drop everything and come running. I must've married one of those... :)

@Daniel: Thanks, especially from a prude like you. ;)
@Terry: Thanks! I really tried to win that contest. But, no amount of rendering can compete with the lines of a frenchman it seems. :)
I would gladly walk to my death following this lovely creature - great figure and lighting - the feel of the piece is wonderful.
Thanks Wren! Checked out your blog. Crazy good watercolors. The light in your aug 4 post... sweet!
