So incredibly beautiful! I read foreign folklore as a hobby, and Russian fairytales have always been among my very favorites. I'd venture to say "The Frog Princess" is the best-known Russian story (some people know it as "Vasilissa the Wise"). Your work is marvelous on a whole, but this is gorgeous beyond words!

I'm right in the midst of researching Russian aesthetics and folklore for a Fairy Tale graphic novel I'm planning/writing, and I have to say that I've found this series of illustrations absolutely inspiring.
