These two etchings and aquatints by David Hockney are part of his celebrated series illustrating fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm, showcasing his masterful command of printmaking techniques. The works combine etching, aquatint, and drypoint to create richly textured compositions that bring a playful yet enigmatic quality to the fantastical narratives. Printed on specially watermarked Hodgkinson hand-made wove paper, these prints reflect Hockney's meticulous attention to craft and his ability to merge wit and whimsy with technical sophistication.
