She Is Under an Evil Enchantment – 1922 Art Nouveau Fairy Tale Illustration – Finnish Folklore Print by Jay Van Everen

With bold, graphic lines and an almost sacred symmetry, this 1922 illustration by Jay Van Everen channels the mysticism of Finnish folklore into a dramatic Art Nouveau tableau. Entitled "She is under an evil enchantment and I am delivering her!", the scene conjures a moment of magical intervention—a bearded hero, haloed with radiant lines, reaches toward a veiled woman shadowed by an unseen curse.

Originally featured in Mighty Mikko: A Book of Finnish Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, this striking composition blends mythology and modernist design. Ideal for admirers of early 20th-century illustration, fairy tale collectors, and those drawn to the esoteric and ornamental. A statement piece for gallery walls, reading nooks, or spaces steeped in mystery.
