An older woman faints into the arms of a sad looking man. Snakes and toads appear to leap towards her out of the mouth of a younger woman, her daughter, who is weeping inconsolably. Behind her another young woman also weeps; she stands by a gate in a high wall, with flowers and gems by her feet. In front of the wall to the left of the gate we see a well, with a pitcher standing on its rim. All portrayed in the style of a hand coloured 16th century print.
Number 32 in Grimm's Kipper, Sorrow and Unpleasantness, represented here by the tale of Diamonds and Toads... #witchsky #pagansky #tarotsky #occultsky #esotericsky #fairytale #folklore #brothersgrimm #contesdefees #kipperkarten
