The early 1900s caption reads: "Gudrun rose and came towards Brynhild." In Norse mythology, Gudrun was the wife of the great hero Sigurd. n the Scandinavian ‘Volsunga Saga’, and the Icelandic ‘Poetic (or Younger) Edda’ and ‘Prose (or Elder) Edda’. The hero Sigurd came to King Giuki’s court after braving the wall of flames surrounding the warrior-maiden Brynhild, with whom he fell in love. In the course of an argument between Gudrun and Brynhild, Brynhild realized she had been wedded to Gunnar by deception, and in her rage sought Sigurd’s death.
