“The artwork, titled ‘The Fishes, in their joy, stretched up their heads above the water, and promised to reward him,’ is an illustration by Arthur Rackham, belonging to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. It is part of the series ‘Snowdrop & Other Tales, by the Brothers Grimm.’ In the artwork, a figure is depicted bending towards a water body, interacting with fishes that have risen above the water’s surface. The environment is rich with foliage and tall grasses set against a backdrop of slender trees. The scene is crafted with intricate lines and muted, earthy tones typical of Rackham’s illustrative style, evoking a sense of enchantment and storytelling.”
