Illustration for the magazine Golden Fleece 1906

This is a black and white illustration by Russian artist Ivan Bilibin, created for the 1906 edition of the magazine *Golden Fleece*. The illustration depicts two figures, a man and a woman, in ornate robes, standing on a checkered floor beneath an ornate canopy. It is a fine example of Bilibin’s *Art Nouveau* style, featuring bold black lines and stylized forms, and his interest in Slavic folklore and history. The image was likely meant to serve as a decorative element in the magazine, introducing a piece about *Old Russian Painting*.
