EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an anonymous illustration from the late 19th century, depicting a scene from Charles Perrault's famous tale "Riquet A la houppe". The image portrays a fairy foretelling that Riquet will possess an abundance of intelligence. The artist behind this enchanting artwork remains unknown, but their skillful execution is evident in every detail. The composition features a young child, presumably Riquet, standing before the ethereal figure of the fairy. With delicate engraving techniques and intricate linework, the illustrator brings to life this moment of prophecy and wonder. The imagery by Marcel Vagne adds depth and richness to the overall aesthetic. Perrault's story revolves around themes of beauty and ugliness, with Riquet being portrayed as physically unattractive but blessed with extraordinary intellect. This illustration beautifully captures this dichotomy between appearance and inner qualities. Displayed within a private collection, this print serves as a timeless reminder of French literature's enduring legacy. It transports viewers into Perrault's imaginative world where mythical characters come alive through storytelling. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are reminded that true wisdom lies beyond superficial appearances. It encourages us to look deeper into ourselves and others for hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.
