Illustration for the Russian Fairy Story "Sister Alyonushka and brother Ivanushka" 1901

"Illustration for the Russian Fairy Story 'Sister Alyonushka and brother Ivanushka'" is an illustration created in 1901 by Russian artist Ivan Bilibin, a prominent figure in the *Russian* *Art Nouveau* movement. The artwork depicts a scene of a winding road leading toward a distant village, with a fence along the right side. The illustration features a minimalist style with *flattened* *planes*, *bold lines*, and *limited* *color* palettes, characteristics of Bilibin's distinct *folk* *style*. This *illustrative* *style* reflects Bilibin's interest in *folklore* and *mythology*, often used to *visualize* *Russian* *fairy* *tales*. The *composition* creates a *sense* of *depth* and *distance* through the *linear* *perspective*.
