Heinrich Kley, Der Fund im Winterwalde

     Our painting today is called 'Discovery In Wintry Forest', by Heinrich Kley. He was a popular German illustrator, who was compared to Walt Disney at one time and is all but forgotten now. He had a very playful style drawing all sorts of monsters and mythological creatures. To see more of his work, click here:
