Danish artist Herman Stilling (1925-1996) produced a vast body of work that included paintings, drawings, collages and mosaics. The work of Hans Christian Andersen was a significant source of inspiration to him. In many of his works, Stilling chose to work with mythological subject matter including the idea of the troll, a figure that the artist saw as both an extension of himself and as his own artistic creation. He has exhibited widely throughout the world.

In this oil on board, the artist has chosen to work with a limited colour palette and with a minimal amount of detail. This has the effect of drawing the eye to focus purely on the two forms, allowing us to appreciate how they convey subtle variations in texture and light. A loose grid structure of horizontal and vertical angles form the composition of the painting. The combination of the careful placement of the objects with the precise linework create a sense of intrigue and subtle tension.
