EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography print from the late 19th century depicts a scene straight out of a beloved folktale. In this enchanting image, we see Donkey Skin, an imaginary character from Charles Perrault's literary masterpiece, hiding his precious ring within a delectable cake. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this whimsical moment to life. The composition centers around a charming couple standing in front of a pastry shop, where the magical confection is being prepared. Donkey Skin carefully conceals his ring inside the cake while maintaining an air of secrecy. His eyes sparkle with mischief as he ensures that his hidden treasure remains undiscovered. The artist, Leonard de Selva, skillfully captures the essence of this timeless tale through his mastery of chromolithography. Every brushstroke and color choice adds depth and richness to the artwork, immersing viewers in its fantastical world. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to an era when literature intertwined with visual art to create lasting impressions on our collective imagination. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and reminds us that even mythical characters can find their place within our hearts. This extraordinary piece now resides in a private collection but continues to captivate audiences with its charm and allure. Its presence evokes nostalgia for simpler times while igniting our curiosity about tales yet untold.
