From wikipedia: (cos I'm too lazy to write it myself) "a phantasmal group of huntsmen with the accoutrements of hunting, horses, hounds, etc., in mad pursuit across the skies or along the ground, or just above it. The hunters may be the dead, or the fairies (often in folklore connected with the dead). The hunter may be an unidentified lost soul, a deity or spirit of either gender, or may be a historical or legendary figure.
Seeing the Wild Hunt was thought to presage some catastrophe such as war or plague, or at best the death of the one who witnessed it.
Others believed that people's spirits could be pulled away during their sleep to join the cavalcade."

Strongly inspired by Dore's engravings (and loud thunderstorm at 5am xD). I've finally finished it, woohoo!

Black ink, dip pen, white gel pen,
30x40 cm
