Ivan Bilibin Illustration from Tales of Tsar Sultan
This is a vibrant illustration by Ivan Bilibin (1876-1942), a renowned Russian illustrator, originating from his work on *Tales of Tsar Sultan*. Bilibin is celebrated for his distinctive style, heavily influenced by Russian folklore and medieval art. This particular piece showcases his masterful use of colour, intricate detail, and stylized figures, characteristic of the *Tales of Tsar Sultan* series. The illustration depicts a scene rich in narrative, likely a pivotal moment from one of the tales, and exemplifies Bilibin’s contribution to the Russian Modernist movement.
Condition and Collectibility
The illustration appears to be a later reproduction, likely a print taken from a book or portfolio. While not an original work, it still represents a desirable piece for collectors of Russian art and illustration. The print shows some signs of age and handling, with minor imperfections consistent with its age. This print would be a wonderful addition to a collection of fairytale art, Russian folklore, or the works of Ivan Bilibin, offering a glimpse into a rich artistic tradition.
