Snow White’s Defense 2021

Michael Cheval’s 2021 painting, "Snow White's Defense," depicts a reimagining of the classic fairytale. In the foreground, Snow White stands with a defiant pose, her white gown draped around her like a fortress. Smaller figures armed with weaponry emerge from beneath her dress, forming a defensive ring around her. The shadowy background is filled with haunting faces, possibly representing the evil stepmother and other threats. The artist’s signature fantastical style is evident in this whimsical depiction of a classic tale.
