From a limited series of small heads Maggi painted 2018 – 2019, portraying different subjects. This one depicts a Valkyrie, which is a mythological Norse female figure—or “chooser of the slain”—who rides over battlefields to select the bravest fallen warriors, guiding them to Odin’s hall, Valhalla. They are depicted as powerful, helmeted warrior women armed with spears, associated with destiny, war, and sacrifice.
