Nicolas Sternberg - Ligeia (1929)

This drawing depicts Ligeia, the brilliant, mysterious character from the eponymous Edgar Allan Poe short story of 1838. Ligeia was the first wife of the narrator and died tragically young, only to be mysteriously resurrected when the narrator’s second wife, Rowena, dies. The dead body of the fair, blue-eyed Rowena comes back to life overnight, transformed into the dark beauty Ligeia. Sternberg has depicted Ligeia as an exotic femme fatale, closely adhering to Poe’s vivid description of her strangeness and beauty: tall and slender, with hair ��blacker than the raven wings of midnight” and eyes like “divine orbs”—large, shining, “the most brilliant of black,”—beneath “jetty lashes of great length.” At right Sternberg depicted another large encircled eye, a likely reference to the Symbolist artist Odilon Redon, whose work was influential on the artist.
