✷ ARTWORK
Vasilisa the Beautiful by Ivan Bilibin c.1899
The famous illustration captures the moment when Vasilisa arrives at the eerie forest home of Baba Yaga. The house sits at the edge of the wild forest, a place that symbolizes danger, transformation, and the boundary between the ordinary world and the unknown. The skull lanterns serve as a warning of those who failed the witch’s tests, while Vasilisa’s small figure approaching the hut reflects the heart of the story: a journey into darkness where courage, patience, and a little bit of magic can turn fear into survival and justice. Ivan Bilibin was a Russian illustrator best known for his richly decorative images of Slavic fairy tales, combining traditional folk patterns, medieval Russian art, and bold graphic lines to create the iconic visual style many people now associate with Russian folklore.
✷ HANDCRAFTED DETAILS
Built by hand from start to finish, using archival paper and a plaster relief frame cast from a mold of a rare antique original. It carries a bit of that old-world studio energy, the kind that doesn’t try too hard but still manages to shift the mood of a space just by being there.
• Archival art paper (museum-quality, fade-resistant).
• Plaster relief frame, hand-poured and finished in a vintage patina. Cast from a rare antique original and unique to this studio.
• Made with Hydrostone plaster, a mineral-based material rather than petroleum-based resin. It’s biodegradable and doesn’t stick around like plastic.
• Two finishes available:
Aged gold with a real metal finish applied in the mold for a warm, heirloom feel. Finished with hand-buffed antique wax for a museum-quality low luster.
Classic black with pigment mixed directly into the plaster for a deep, matte look that won’t chip or flake.
• At 1.6 lbs, it has a satisfying bit of weight to it and feels solid rather than delicate, with pre-installed hanging hardware so it’s easy to hang.
✷ THOUGHTFUL EXTRAS

• A removable Swiss lithograph art card (early 20th-century, collectible designs. Yours will be chosen at random unless you request a specific one!).
