I love Gottlieb Theodor von Kempf illustrations, the layering/juxtaposing of narrative elements is so comics lol and the compositional choices are so evocative and unique also the palettes are just to die for

the playfulness and assymetry... The style stepping between a heavier inked hand to a more ligne claire mode to indicate magical elements... Also that third piece almost looks like a drawn over photo? I love it...

adore these

God the low contrast, colorfully rendered woman closed in by these inky forest panels!! The trees and spider webs as borders! Amazing...
