Illustration in style of Anton Pieck, Ivan Bilibin: Close-up forgotten miniature tin-toy-soldier with only one leg, XVIII-century antic one-leg tin-metal-cast classic edwardian-era miniature army-figurine with paint peeled off to tin metal half-buried in sand stands stoically at shore pebbles, mud and rubbish remains. Little crabs rounded toy-soldier conferring on what could be done with it. All sense of quiet solitude and innocent nostalgia, with a dreamy, ethereal quality. The style is reminiscent of art nouveau graphic art. Drawn illustration of Andersen's tale
A highly detailed illustration of a rusty tin toy soldier standing on a rocky beach with blue water and an orange and yellow sky, surrounded by four red crabs, seashells, corroded metal objects, and dead worms. The toy soldier has a grey face, a tall, rusty shako hat with a metallic rope, a white military jacket with a red collar, red shoulder epaulets, and a white cross belt, and a prosthetic leg. The entire scene is framed by an ornate Art Nouveau border with swirling blue, green, and gold floral patterns.
