The Frogs and the Well 1912

"The Frogs and the Well" is a black and white ink illustration by Arthur Rackham, a prolific British illustrator of the early 20th century, known for his fantastical and detailed drawings. Created in 1912, this illustration captures two frogs perched on the edge of a well, their textured skin and bulging eyes rendered with remarkable detail. The intricate line work and the depiction of the well's rippling water evoke a sense of whimsical realism, characteristic of Rackham's style. This artwork is a fine example of his mastery of the pen and ink medium.
