Eye Candy for Today: N.C. Wyeth illustration
// lines and colors
The Passing of Robin Hood, N.C. Wyeth
On Wikimedia Commons. If I'm reading the Brandywine River Museum's N.C. Wyeth Catalogue Raisonné correctly, the original is in the New York Public Library.
The illustration is from The Adventures of Robin Hood by Paul Cheswick and N.C. Wyeth. The full edition can be found used; but you can also get the Young Readers version from the Brandywine River Museum Shop, with the illustrations printed larger than in the original.
The entire book is available on Project Gutenberg, albeit with relatively small illustrations. Look for the illustrations on The Golden Age Site.
Wyeth's masterful control of light is what gives this moment its power.
