De houthakker en de kabouter 1894 - 1959

"De Houthakker en de Kabouter" (The Woodcutter and the Goblin) is a colorful illustrated story in eight panels created by Gordinne between 1894 and 1959. The panels tell a humorous story about a woodcutter who encounters a mischievous goblin in the forest. This charming print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, was likely intended for children's literature and reflects the popular storytelling tradition of the time. The artwork uses bright colors and detailed illustrations to bring the story to life, showcasing Gordinne’s talent for capturing the playful nature of folklore.
