ArtistA whimsical picture book illustration of a proud princess dressed in a simple, worn gown, sitting at a bustling medieval market stall filled with fragile clay pots and earthenware. Her expression is troubled and humbled. In a dramatic moment, a mounted rider on a powerful horse gallops past, accidentally shattering the pottery into flying shards. Market people freeze in surprise, pigeons scatter, and broken clay lies at the princess’s feet. Timbered houses, colorful stalls, and fluttering banners frame the scene, filled with motion and emotion. The mood is bittersweet, instructive, and deeply fairy-tale in tone, capturing loss, humility, and transformation. Style by Anton Pieck × Leo and Diane Dillon.
A watercolor and ink illustration depicts a bustling medieval marketplace. In the foreground, a young woman with long blonde hair, dressed in a patched, cream-colored dress, sits on a wooden bench, looking down sadly. Around her, several terra cotta pots are broken into pieces, scattered on the ground. To her right, a man with a green cap and brown tunic looks on with a surprised expression, standing behind a stall laden with more pottery. In the midground, a knight in full silver armor, wearing a red cape and a red plume on his helmet, gallops on a brown horse through the market, holding a sword. The horse's hooves kick up debris, and pottery shards fly through the air. Several agitated townspeople, some with shocked faces, watch the knight and horse. In the background, quaint medieval buildings with timber frames and tiled roofs line the street, adorned with colorful banners strung across the market. Pigeons peck at the ground near the horse's hooves, and one flies away as the horse passes. The overall scene has a slightly distressed yet classic fairytale or storybook aesthetic.
