Ulla Marx (German, 20th Century) A Jay Watching a Frog in a Witch's Ball signed lower right "Ulla Marx, Nov. 1912" oil on canvas 37 x 46cm Provenance: Private collection, Cambridge A witch ball would be hung in the window of a cottage or house to attract and neutralise the "evil eye" of any passing witch, by its reflection or by puzzling the witch with its pattern. Witch balls were known as watch balls due to the belief that they would go dull if there was infection in the air, so they needed to be watched regularly. They were traditionally hung in the window where any trespassing evil spirits would be mesmerised by the reflective beauty of the ball. Legend suggests the evil spirit would either be absorbed by the ball and trapped for prosperity, or be scared away by the sight of its own reflection

Note: This piece is an excellent example of the Victorians' fascination with naturalism and history combined.
