“Depicting a cockerel in determined pursuit of a hen within a heart-shaped frame of vines, this is a humorous and charming love token, perhaps offering an an interpretation of the proverb ‘the cock croweth but the hen delivereth the egg’.

Wilhelm Lucas von Cranach (1861-1918) was an artist, interior decorator and highly individual designer of jewellery based in Berlin. His work relates closely to the Art Nouveau style prevalent in Paris and Brussels, and he exhibited at the Paris Exposition of 1900. Known for his jewelled serpents and winged creatures, this charming, domestic scene offers a more light-hearted aspect of his work.”

Happy 81st anniversary to The Railway Series! Here's my entry to an art collab celebrating the occasion.

In a previous year's collab I'd been assigned the book 'Branch Line Engines' and had illustrated for every story but the final - I decided to rectify that 😁

A video compilation of all entries is on Youtube now (with events in chronological order!)
