Roodkapje 1814 - 1859

"Roodkapje" is a black and white lithograph created by Charles Auguste Schuler between 1814 and 1859. The artwork depicts a scene from the classic fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood" in which the young girl, dressed in a red hooded cloak, stands before her grandmother who is seated in a chair. The scene is set in a cozy room with a dog lying at the feet of the grandmother. Schuler was a Dutch lithographer known for his illustrations of fairy tales and folk stories. His work, which is often characterized by its delicate detail and charm, was popular with audiences of all ages. This print is a fine example of Schuler's ability to capture the essence of a story in a single image.
