Vintage Witch Illustration - Classic Ink Drawing for Storytelling & Design #119963 (License: Personal Use)

This detailed pen-and-ink illustration depicts an elderly, grotesque witch with deeply lined face, a tall crumpled hat, and a voluminous ruffled collar, clutching a twisted staff while stepping forward with urgency. Her oversized, patched skirt flares dramatically, revealing striped stockings and worn shoes, all rendered with expressive cross-hatching and bold linework typical of late Victorian or early 20th-century book illustrations. The composition conveys motion and menace, suggesting a scene from a dark fairy tale or cautionary fable.
