This detailed woodcut-style engraving depicts an aged, bespectacled witch wearing a tall conical hat, flowing dark cloak, and intricately patterned skirt, suggesting both scholarly and mystical authority. She holds a wooden staff in one hand and an open spellbook in the other, with a small bouquet tucked into her belt-hinting at herbal lore. The linework evokes late 19th-century children’s literature or satirical periodicals.
