"The Witches Going to Market" is a 19th-century painting by the Scottish artist Alice Boyd (1823–1897). Boyd, who was also known for her role as the mistress of Penkill Castle in Ayrshire, Scotland, was an accomplished painter associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Her work often reflected the movement's characteristic attention to detail, vibrant colors, and interest in themes from literature, mythology, and folklore.

"The Witches Going to Market" depicts a scene inspired by European witchcraft folklore, where a coven of witches is portrayed en route to a market. The painting is imbued with a sense of narrative and movement, as Boyd captures the witches in various states of flight, suggesting both the secrecy and haste associated with their nocturnal activities. The composition likely reflects the Victorian fascination with the supernatural and the occult, which was a common theme in the art and literature of the period.

Boyd's painting is notable for its atmospheric quality and the way it conveys a sense of the mystical through its subject matter and execution. The use of light and shadow, as well as the detailed rendering of the witches' costumes and expressions, contribute to the overall mood of the piece. As a woman artist in the Victorian era, Boyd's contributions to the art world were significant, and "The Witches Going to Market" stands as a testament to her artistic skill and her engagement with the cultural interests of her time.

While the painting is an important work within Boyd's oeuvre, it is not as widely recognized as the masterpieces of her more famous contemporaries. Nonetheless, it offers valuable insight into the lesser-known aspects of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and the role of female artists in the Victorian art scene. The current location of the painting and its exhibition history are not well-documented, which may contribute to its relative obscurity in art historical discourse.
