Set against a backdrop of shimmering waters and lush greenery, we are transported to an otherworldly landscape filled with wonder. The story revolves around Ondine's marriage to Huldebrand, a knight who becomes infatuated with her enchanting charm.

Rackham skillfully captures the essence of this timeless romance through his evocative portrayal of these characters. His attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, breathing life into each element of the composition. As we gaze upon this exquisite print from 1910s Germany, we are reminded of the enduring power of fairy tales to transport us beyond reality.
