Dryad portraits

Dryad portraits.

A dryad is a mythological creature from Greek mythology, specifically a tree spirit or wood nymph. The term originates from the Greek word Druás, which means “oak,” reflecting the belief that dryads were originally associated with oak trees but later came to represent spirits of all trees.

In literature and art, dryads are often portrayed as shy, ethereal beings who protect their forests. They have appeared in various works, including poetry and modern fantasy literature, symbolizing nature’s beauty and fragility.
