"Hansel and Gretel", by Kay Nielsen (1886-1957).
:: Although Kay Nielsen's work was underappreciated during his lifetime, so much so that he died in poverty, he has recently been "discovered" as one of the 20th century's great illustrators. His greatest claim-to-fame was in the conceptual artwork he did for the "Night On Bald Mountain" sequence in Walt Disney's film Fantasia. The image links to a good biographical precis of Nielsen's life and work; this site contains a very large repository of Nielsen's work.
