A mysterious little guardian of the night, emerging from the enchanted world of folklore and imagination.

In Night Dwarf, Sibylle Laubscher introduces a watchful figure with a long beard, pointed hat and lantern, surrounded by a swirling circle of leaves and delicate flowers. His serious, slightly mischievous expression suggests a character who knows more about the hidden world than he is willing to reveal.

The dwarf is a familiar figure in European folklore, often associated with the earth, hidden treasures and ancient knowledge. Here, he becomes a guardian of the unseen, inviting us to imagine a world in which nature is alive with mysterious beings and secret stories.

The original hand-pulled print combines intricate carved lines with a rich interplay of turquoise, deep blue-green and golden yellow. The rhythmic marks and overlapping colours create a sense of movement, as though the surrounding vegetation were growing and shifting around the little figure.

Night Dwarf reflects the artist's fascination with mythology, animism and the imaginal world, where the boundaries between the visible and invisible become fluid.

An original, hand-pulled limited-edition print, made using traditional printmaking techniques. Each impression carries the distinctive character of the handmade process.

Night Dwarf can also be enjoyed as part of a triptych alongside Happy Hag and Wise Owl. Together, the three prints evoke an enchanted natural world inhabited by creatures of wisdom, mystery and imagination.

A distinctive artwork for collectors who appreciate folklore, fairy tales, original printmaking and the magical dimensions of nature.
