A succubus staring intently at you, a submissive woman, and a night-mare.

You can click aimlessly around this painting, or you can immerse yourself in a story that will shake your soul.

It is said that the woman depicted in the image is Anna Landholdt, a supposed unrequited love of the artist. Not because love was absent, but because her father refused to grant her hand. This would have caused in our author an obsession that led him to imagine her in the most sordid representations, where madness drove him to portray her subdued before a succubus in an inescapable nightmare.

It is also said that the imagery present in the painting represents sleep paralysis, which resembles the sense of helplessness our author may have felt when his intentions were cut short by forces beyond his control.

A handle hangs mysteriously… perhaps to adjust the curtains, or perhaps to begin a chilling show starring these characters, who, true to their nature, will take advantage of every weak point of the reclining maiden—surely starting with her exposed trachea and ending when not a trace of her remains.

But every nightmare must come to an end, abruptly and with a jolt that can drive anyone who wanders through it insane.

Be careful: it is known that those who stare at this painting continuously will suffer sleep paralysis, disturbances in their rest, and even nocturnal visitors who delight in subduing other bodies.
