I believe this illustration by turn of the 20th century Danish illustrator Kay (pronounced “kigh”) Neilsen is for a collection of Grimm’s Fairy Tales that included The Twelve Dancing Princesses.

Lines and Colors is a blog about painting, drawing, sketching, illustration, comics, cartoons, webcomics, art history, concept art, gallery art, digital art, artist tools and techniques, motion graphics, animation, sci-fi and fantasy illustration, paleo art, storyboards, matte painting, 3d graphics and anything else I find visually interesting. If it has lines and/or colors, it’s fair game.
