“The Riddle” by Cory Benhatzel
In this tale by the Brothers Grimm, the flesh of a poisoned horse is consumed by a raven, which is then killed and made into soup by a prince and his servant. The soup is then consumed by a band of knife-wielding robbers, thus leading to the riddle: “What slew none, and yet slew twelve?”
In the artist’s version, the raven stands victorious over the skulls of the horse, the robbers, and their knives. Unharmed, it will go on to spread the poison even farther. The red rose symbolizes victory.
