Bilibin Russian Fairy Tale

Bilibin's decorative neo-Russian book illustration: fine even contour linework with flat fills; restrained muted palette of ochre, olive, grey-green, dusty blue, russet and cream; stippled and hatched texturing in foliage, bark and ground; flattened perspective with strong frontal planes and stylized plant motifs used inside the picture; delicate, slightly melancholic tonality; no lettering or ornamental frame.
