    Vill Vallareman (a Fairy Shepherd) (1910)

    John Bauer (Swedish, unknown)

    A lone fairy shepherd stands in twilight, staff in hand, watching over unseen flocks. The air hums with quiet magic, his presence both guardian and mystery. Shadows cling to his cloak as if woven from the forest itself. What waits beyond the trees? Only the flicker of fireflies knows.
