This hand-painted wooden mirror can make a thoughtful gift for someone who cherishes art, tradition, and fairy tales. Painted in vibrant colors, in the distinctive style of folk artist Ana Drăgan, this original, hand-made painting illustrates the Romanian fairy tale "Prâslea the Brave and the Golden Apples", collected by Petre Ispirescu.
The tempera painting is varnished, and the inner mirror measures 9x9 cm.
A king had a magnificent garden with a tree that bore golden apples, but he never ate them, because every year, the apples were stolen as they became ripe. None of his guards could catch the thief. His oldest two sons tried, one year after the other, but fell asleep near midnight. The next year, the youngest son, Prâslea, tried. He set up two stakes to prick him if he ever started to lean in his sleep. At midnight, he heard rustling and shot an arrow. In the morning, a trail of blood led away, and the apples were ripe.
The king was pleased, but Prâslea wanted to track the thief...

Exceptional
Tabloul este foarte frumos, realizat cu deosebita migala si atentie la detaliu. Seamana perfect cu imaginea de pe site.
De poveste!
A fost "iubire la prima vedere" însoțită de nostalgia acelor vremuri de demult cand tata imi povestea de Prâslea cel voinic.... Si a fost marea mea admiratie pentru migala Anei pentru tot ce picteaza cu suflet si dragoste! Si-apoi ati fost voi, Naivia, care mi-ati trimis poveste repede, cât ai clipi! Mulțam, Ana!
