That brings me back memories of when is was ~5 years old and visiting my father's cabin in the forest, which had a copy of that painting on the wall. He would put hall of the mountain king on full blast and tell troll stories just to scare me from time to time.

Nøkken was scarier though, kept me from going down to lake alone after dark, which I guess was the original intention of that creature.

The Water Sprite (Nøkken in Norwegian) by Theodor Kittelsen

He was one of the most popular artists in Norway due to his illustrations of Norwegian fairy tales and legends.

Some of his other works includes:

And The Forest Troll

Ngl the Pesta ones are quite spooky.

The skogtrollet is rad though
