She already had paintings, looking alot like this, a woman with the same pose, a bit african? With the "Blå jungfrun" (blue virgin) in the background. But this time it's just not a dress, it is also a tail!

Very mysterious, is said to be the gathering place of all the witches during halloween (Blåkulla) and you're NOT allowed to bring stones from the island, or say the island's name during the trip. He's an amazing artist, he has illustrated several books and nature is his main motif.
