Artist's Comments

'The youngest daughter of this King will be married to a Pig'

Pen and ink and watercolour.

Illustration for The Enchanted Pig from Andrew Lang's The Red Fairy Book, published by The Folio Society, 2008. [link]

File scanned from a proof. It is quite a fair bit darker than the original!

A variant on the Beauty and the Beast tale, as you can probably guess. I took a little license and drew a wild boar rather than a domesticated pig.

Other illustrations for this book: [link]

Thank you so much.

I use pen and ink (sepia ink) and watercolour, with a few gouache highlights.
