The illustration captures a pivotal moment in the tale, where the knight Hulbrand encounters a gnome, a creature from the folklore that permeates the story. Rackham's work is distinguished by its ability to convey the mystical atmosphere of the tale, as well as the emotional complexity of the characters. His use of line and wash techniques, combined with his imaginative interpretation of the text, results in an image that both complements and enhances the literary experience of "Undine."
