Cold Water about to hit the Prince (Grimms Fairy Tales) by Hockney
From Illustrations for Six Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm.Original limited print.

In 1969 Hockney decided to illustrate Grimms' Fairy Tales. Having read all 220 of the stories, he focused on six which inspired him most. He loved the direct language and magic in the tales. Whereas earlier illustrators depicted crucial moments in the stories, Hockney's illustrations capture the mood and highlight descriptions in the text.
