Baba Yaga by Ivan Bilibin, watercolor and ink, 1900

Baba Yaga (1900 CE)

This piece not only illustrates a specific scene from the folktale Vasilisa the Beautiful but also immortalizes Baba Yaga as a symbol of the wild, ambiguous forces in Slavic mythology, arousing curiosity about her origins in oral traditions that predate written records by centuries.
