This extraordinary A1 print is a superbly detailed reproduction of Brian Wildsmith’s Snow Queen, an iconic illustration created in the 1970s. At the top, the Snow Queen rides through the sky in a sleigh pulled by reindeer, her son - the prince - by her side. Below, a breathtaking aerial view of a vibrant city unfolds, painted in striking geometric shapes that shift from bold greens and blues to warm yellows, pinks, and oranges. The graphic mastery of the city’s architecture contrasts beautifully with the softness and fragility of the human, animal, and equestrian elements, creating a compelling visual tension. The city’s flat, almost abstract form is peeled outward from a central square, where a ceremonial equestrian scene brings a delicate and tense humanity to the composition. This print offers a rare opportunity to own a work that blends bold geometric precision with the gentle fluidity of storytelling, capturing the timeless beauty and complexity of Brian Wildsmith’s art.

The trilogy* consists of this, Hansel and Gretel and Sleeping Beauty. They are the largest illustrations Brian ever produced - The composition, the colours, the mystery, the mastery, the magic, the pop… it’s all there: genius !
