This wood engraving, "Idylls of the King" by Gustave Doré, depicts a scene from the Arthurian legends. A cloaked figure guides a woman in a flowing gown towards a distant, imposing castle. The dark, brooding atmosphere and the figures' solemn expressions evoke a sense of mystery and foreboding, characteristic of Doré's style. Doré's illustrations, known for their detailed and dramatic style, brought the literary works of the Victorian era to life.
