Skadi Hunting in the Mountains by H. L. M
Skadi Hunting in the Mountains (1901) by H. L. M.

Skadi was a goddess of hunting and skiing in Norse mythology. She was married to Njord, and later married to Ull or Ullr. She married Njord because she was supposed to marry a god by looking at only the god's feet; she picked Njord because the sand had weathered his feet and Skadi thought he was Baldur.
