Sally in the Woods (2025) Original Ink Drawing by Terri Smith
59 x 84 x 0.1cm (unframed)
£1,305.52
Original artwork description
This drawing reimagines the Bath legend of “Sally in the Woods,” a ghostly child said to haunt the wood around Brown’s Folly.
Combining intricate linework with theatrical composition, the piece invites viewers into a shadowed forest watched over by owls, leafless trees, and a swirling, hypnotic sky that spirals around a dark moon.
The narrative is ambiguous: is Sally a lost soul, a warning, or a witness? The scene walks the line between folklore and reality, death and dream, memory and myth.
This drawing reflects on the way stories root themselves in place, and how the landscape itself becomes haunted by the tales.
Created in ink on watercolour paper, this work is presently unframed and measures 84x59cm
