EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Stepsister Showered With Pitch" takes us back to the enchanting world of fairy tales. Created by an unknown European artist in the 19th century, this artwork depicts a pivotal moment from the well-known story of Cinderella's stepsisters. The scene unfolds within a humble household, where two stepsisters are engaged in spinning. However, laziness and cruelty have consumed their hearts, contrasting with the virtuous nature of their stepdaughter. As punishment for their wickedness, Mother Holle intervenes and showers one of the stepsisters with sticky pitch instead of water. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this timeless tale to life. The viewer is transported into a realm where magic intertwines with reality as we witness justice being served. This print serves as a reminder that kindness and hard work triumph over greed and idleness. Inspired by the Brothers Grimm's children's tales, this artwork captures both the moral lesson embedded within these stories and our fascination with fantastical worlds. It invites us to reflect on our own actions while immersing ourselves in an imaginative narrative. Displayed here as part of a private collection belonging to Fine Art Finder, this piece continues to captivate audiences worldwide through its enduring charm and universal themes.
