Description

This wood engraving is based on a painting by Mårten Eskil Winge. It shows the Norse mythological figures Loki and Sigyn. Loki is bound and Sigyn holds a cup above his head to protect him from the venom dripping from the snake above.

In the lower right corner there is the signature of Gunnar Forssell (1859-1903), the xylographer.

The image list on page 468 in the book describes this image as Loke och Sigyn.
Date Painting created in 1863. Xylograph created in 1887,[1] published in 1893.
Source The image is found on page 158 of Fredrik Sander's 1893 edition of the Poetic Edda; Edda Sämund den vises : skaldeverk af fornnordiska myt- och hjältesånger om de götiska eller germaniska folkens gamla gudatro, sagominnen och vandringar / öfversättning från isländskan af Fredrik Sander ; med bilder af nordiska konstnärer. Stockholm, Norstedt. I (Haukur Þorgeirsson) took a picture of that page with a handheld camera. My original upload is an unmodified version of that picture and shows not only the image described but also its context. My other upload is cropped to the engraving itself and has been color-corrected in GIMP.

Sander's Edda was published in 1893, placing it in the public domain in the United States. More than 70 years have passed since the deaths of both the original artist (Winge) and the xylographer (Forssell), securing public domain status in Sweden and much of the rest of the world. My (rather poor) photographic reproduction of the page may be ineligible for copyright but in case it is not I place it into the public domain.
