The artwork titled “She went away accompanied by the Lions” was created by Arthur Rackham, a prominent artist associated with the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. It falls under the genre of illustration and is a part of the artwork series “Snowdrop & Other Tales, by the Brothers Grimm”.
In the artwork, a young woman is depicted gracefully walking forward, her head held high and her gaze directed upward, suggesting a sense of determination and nobility. She is adorned in an elegant medieval-style gown that features intricate detailing, with long, flowing sleeves and a voluminous skirt adorned with striking red scorpions. The gown contrasts beautifully with the dark, textured background, adding an ethereal quality to her presence. Accompanying her are three majestic lions, their expressions calm and regal as they stride beside her. The lions’ powerful forms enhance the sense of strength and courage conveyed by the piece. The use of muted colors and meticulous line work are characteristic of Rackham’s iconic style, emphasizing both the fantastical and the delicate nature of this enchanting scene.
