A Squirrel and a Crow 1913

Arthur Rackham's 1913 illustration, "A Squirrel and a Crow," features a stylized crow perched on a branch alongside a small, anthropomorphized squirrel. Rackham, a renowned English illustrator, was known for his detailed and imaginative depictions of fantastical creatures and characters. His use of pen and ink, combined with delicate washes of watercolor, creates a sense of depth and texture. The composition, featuring a distant landscape, adds a sense of whimsy and scale to the scene. This work exemplifies Rackham's ability to capture the essence of folklore and fairy tales through his art.
