The artwork, titled “Illustration for the Russian Fairy Story ‘The Frog Princess’,” was created by Ivan Bilibin in 1901. This piece belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls within the genre of illustration. It is part of a series entitled “The Frog Princess.”
In the artwork, a young girl is depicted standing in front of a rustic wooden fence. She is adorned in traditional attire, featuring a dark dress with a light-colored blouse and a headscarf. Her hands are clasped together in front of her. The background reveals a serene countryside scene, complete with birch trees and mushrooms, all rendered in a delicate and stylized manner characteristic of Bilibin’s distinct illustrative approach within the Art Nouveau movement. The simplicity yet intricacy of the design underscores a mythical and fairytale-like ambiance.
