This is one of 39 etchings Hockney completed for the series Six Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm printed in an edition of 400 plus 15 artist's proofs, all unsigned. The plates were hand-drawn by David Hockney in London between May and November 1969. They were proofed by Maurice Payne, printed by Piet Clement on W.S.Hodgkinson paper and published by the Petersburg Press in association with the Kasmin Gallery in 1970.
'They're fascinating, the little stories, told in a very very simple, direct, straightforward language and style, it was this simplicity that attracted me. They cover quite a strange range of experience, from the magical to the moral.'
David Hockney
