Cinderella 

This wood engraving titled "Cinderella" depicts a scene from the classic fairy tale. French artist Gustave Doré, famous for his dramatic and detailed illustrations, captures the moment Cinderella’s stepmother and stepsisters are preparing for the ball. The scene is set in a dimly lit kitchen, with Cinderella seen in the shadows. Doré’s distinctive style uses strong chiaroscuro and dramatic composition to emphasize the stark contrast between Cinderella's hardship and the impending opulence of the ball. This image is a powerful reminder of the enduring themes of hope and transformation found in the Cinderella story.
