Abraxas the Witches’ Raven, oil on canvas
Creation year
1960s
Many legends surround the raven, for example that it is a faithful companion of witches. The fact that it eats carrion, its dark appearance and its less melodious song all contribute to its dubious reputation. The raven in this picture not only looks sinister, but its cunning is also clearly visible. The bird’s strong expression and the white background give the picture the character of a caricature.
