This is a black and white illustration by Ivan Bilibin for Alexander Pushkin's famous poem "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish." It depicts a fisherman standing on a rocky shore looking out to the sea. The rough sea, rendered in detailed crosshatching, is a striking contrast to the calm and contemplative figure of the fisherman. Bilibin is known for his distinctive style of illustration that draws on Russian folklore, particularly in his use of black lines and strong contrasts. This illustration is a great example of his approach to depicting traditional Russian themes.
