About How are you - said one

The artwork entitled “How are you – said one” is a sophisticated illustration by the distinguished artist Arthur Rackham, a prominent figure in the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. This piece is part of a larger series illustrating “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens.

The illustration depicts an intriguing scene with various characters interacting in an ethereal and whimsical manner. To the left, a wizened old man, hunching under the weight of his sack, looks on. Adjacent to him, a tall, horned figure with a menacing smile, likely a devilish character, holds a trident and seems to engage with those around him. In the foreground, a diminutive figure in a purplish-red coat extends a greeting to another character, dressed in yellow with a top hat, under the watchful presence of the larger entities. The artwork showcases Rackham’s signature style, characterized by intricate linework, and rich, muted colors, drawing the viewer into the literary world of Dickens’ timeless story.
