Jazmina Cininas - Ann of Meremoisa 1623
Linocut - Reduction Linocut
Image Size: 62.5 x 43.5
$1980 inc GST
In Estonia in 1623 alone, thirteen women were tried as werewolves. Among them was Ann from Meremoisa, a small town on the outskirts of Tallin (which can be seen in the distance of this image). Ann confessed to having been a werewolf for four years and was blamed for the death of a horse and some small animals, charges she always denied. She would reputedly hide her wolf skin beneath a stone in the fields.
The Estonian horse and European mink in this image are both native animals in the northernmost Baltic state, while the cornflower is the national floral symbol. Ann is holding mandrake, a common ingredient in werewolf potions. The river in the distance acknowledges one of the traditional sites of werewolf transformations.
