Death and the Soldier
painted
by
Fet Milner
Another bust from Oleksandr Bilibov by way of Mr Lee's Minis. This one is originally based on a short story by Gogol, but I've very slightly reinterpreted it as the main character from an old folk tale, "Death and the Soldier", in which a soldier ends up with a bag that can hold anything (and which he uses to store Death at one point). At this point in the tale, he has a bag full of devils, which he beats every now and then in order to force a deal out of them. This particular folk tale was included in
The Storyteller
, which was a show in the late 80s featuring John Hurt narrating folk tales acted out by muppets. Well worth looking up if you're interested.
