Illustration for Božena Němcová's Fairy Tales 

Artuš Scheiner, a Czech artist born in 1863, created this illustration for Božena Němcová's fairy tales, "Anděl Strážný" (Guardian Angel). The artwork depicts a winged angelic figure with glowing, iridescent wings, standing above a kneeling man. The scene is set in a night landscape, suggesting a mystical, otherworldly atmosphere. The soft, pastel colors and delicate details create a sense of wonder and beauty, highlighting the ethereal nature of the subject matter. This illustrative piece is a testament to Scheiner's talent for conveying the magic and wonder of fairy tales.
