The Brownie of Glendoch at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, Scotland

In 1889, one of the "Glasgow Boys," EA Hornel, painted this image based on The Brownie of Glendoch, a poem in Scots by William Nicholson.  It depicts "a wild phantom who frightens people by his appearance but is more to be pitied," according to the museum.
