ARTHUR RACKHAM (1867-1939) "The birds show the young man the white dove's nest." Illustration for the Portuguese story, "What Came of Picking Flowers," published in The Allies Fairy Book (London: Willam Heinemann, 1916). Watercolor and ink on paper. 9 7/8 x 6 7/8 inches. Signed and dated in lower left image.
In the trunk and branches of a tree there rests a nest of the White Dove with its single egg; around it are perched a dozen strange and brightly colored birds who watch the advance of a youth whose head and shoulders can be seen as he climbs the tree.
