Day 24 of #artAdventCalendar is The Maiden of the Dawn & the Firebird I made for #FolktaleWeek2025

A Prince is prophesied to fly away on the Firebird on his 15th birthday & marry the Maiden of the Dawn. So the King imprisons him in a luxurious tower prison & holds an elaborate 15th birthday, without him.

Frustrated, the Prince escaped by the window to the garden, unobserved by the guards enjoying the festival. 🧵

My linocut print “The Maiden of the Dawn and the Firebird” on 11” x 14” Japanese paper shows the Maiden in dress and headdress on the flaming red bird (reminiscent of a peacock) against a cloud-spotted dawn sky in swathes of pink and cream. The Maiden’s Slavic style headdress is shaped in tiered teardrops and outlined in gold with radiating lines like the sun. Here dress in a gradient of orange through red is decorated with golden suns. She has yellow, pink and red ribbons in her hair.
