This interesting work of Pavel Govorun shows Baba-Yaga flying on the cracked mortar through dark forest. Baba Yaga has been painted countless times by artists who redefine her image in creative and imaginative ways. Baba Yaga here looks very scary with her two canine teeth and slovenly hair.
Baba-Yaga is the oldest character of the Slavonic mythology. Originally Baba-Yaga was the goddess of death; people imagined her as a woman with the snake tail who guarded the entrance into the other world and accompanied the souls of dead people into the Kingdom of the Dead.
