So the four Brothers took their sticks in their hands, bade their Father good-bye, and passed out of the town gate 

This illustration by Arthur Rackham, a renowned British artist known for his whimsical and evocative illustrations, depicts a scene from a children's story. It captures the moment four brothers leave their town, their figures dwarfed by the imposing stone archway. Rackham's signature style, with its detailed pen and ink lines and subtle washes of color, adds a sense of medieval charm and adventure to the scene. This illustrative style, prevalent in his work, is often associated with fantasy and folklore.
