EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, titled 'Les Korrigans' and dated circa 1901, showcases a lively group of Korrigan, mythical creatures from the rich folklore of Brittany, France. The central figure of the composition is a woman, who appears to be entranced or perhaps even bound, as she lies beneath a large, flat rock. Surrounding her, a mischievous band of Korrigan leap and bound with playful energy. These enchanting beings, often described as fairy or dwarf-like creatures, have long been a part of Breton folklore, believed to inhabit the forests and moors of the region. Their presence is said to bring both good fortune and mischief, and they were often depicted in local art and literature. This charming sketch, part of the 'Maitres de la Caricature' issue 10, published in March of 1901, is a testament to the enduring allure of these mystical beings, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Brittany and its folklore.
