Fairytale 1933

"Fairytale" is a 1933 painting by Bulgarian artist Georgi Mashev (1887-1946). The painting depicts a woman in a traditional Bulgarian folk costume, standing on a round platform with a swirling background. The woman's pose and the dreamy atmosphere of the painting suggest a sense of fantasy and magic, hinting at the title. Mashev's work often explored themes of Bulgarian folklore and national identity, making this painting a compelling example of his artistic style.
