Witold Wojtkiewicz / Alraune / 1905(?) watercolour
The ephemeral Alraune is the heroine of the famous decadent novel, full of horror and perverse eroticism, by the German writer Hanns Heinz Ewers.

An oil painting by Withold Pruszkowski. It's of of a reclining nude woman surrounded by dark, blue-black space. Along her breasts and torso are a bright white nebulae that cut upward through the inky black void. Clutched within her outstretched left hand are a long string of pearls that line and curve up into her hair. Her expression is soft, her face tilted away from us but features still visible. Within the center of her forehead appears to be a bright star or comet with a sharp, pointed trail as if a horn or a crown.
Falling Star — Witold Pruszkowski (1884)
