Watercolors, 44 x 25 cm.

This is a painting based on a old German saga called Lohengrin.

In this image you see Lohengrin riding a small boat pulled by a friendly swan, who offerd to do this job. (so no animals were harmed in this story ;))
In the story the boat is not described precisely, so I added some details myself :)
Lohengrin is described to carry a golden horn at his belt and a shield painted with the image of a dove. He is the son of Parcival and lives with his father in Monsalvat, the castle of the Grail Kingdom, from where he comes to stand in for a falsely accused maid in a Gods Judge.

Well I wish I could do them from imagination at least. Still stunned by the girl with the skull mask you did.

My people always look stupid, so I try to hide their faces :D
