About So the four Brothers took their sticks in their hands, bade their Father good-bye, and passed out of the town gate

The artwork, titled “So the four Brothers took their sticks in their hands, bade their Father good-bye, and passed out of the town gate,” was created by the artist Arthur Rackham as part of the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. It belongs to the genre of illustration and is part of the series “Snowdrop & Other Tales, by the Brothers Grimm.”

The artwork vividly depicts a quaint town scene in which four brothers, each holding a walking stick, are seen bidding farewell to their father as they exit through a town gate. The scene is portrayed under the arch of the gate, framing a bustling medieval town. The cobblestone street is filled with various figures—some engaged in conversation, a child peering out from a doorway, and a playful dog adding to the lively atmosphere. The artwork is rich in detail, capturing the charm and essence of a bygone era, typical of Rackham’s illustrative style.
