Idylls of the King 

This illustration, "Idylls of the King," is a work by the famed French artist Gustave Doré, known for his detailed and dramatic black and white illustrations. The image depicts a scene of a shadowy figure walking away from a seated figure in a dense forest. Doré’s use of light and shadow, combined with a sense of movement, creates a captivating sense of mystery and foreboding. This piece exemplifies Doré's mastery of wood engraving, a technique that allowed for a dramatic and expressive rendering of the subject matter.
