The print, part of a private collection, showcases Dore's exceptional talent in bringing to life the enchanting world of Arthurian legend. In this scene, we witness the culmination of an epic quest as King Arthur emerges from the misty depths, surrounded by his loyal knights and Queen Guinevere. The composition exudes a sense of awe and wonder, with intricate details meticulously etched into every corner. Dore's masterful use of black and white adds depth and drama to the image, emphasizing both light and shadow. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for Alfred Lord Tennyson's "Idylls of the King" a collection of poems that immortalizes the tales surrounding King Arthur.
