This chromolitho print, titled "Bluebeard forbids his wife to enter his room" transports us into the mysterious world of a classic French folk tale. Created by an anonymous artist from the 19th century, this piece is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the realm of horror literature. The image depicts Bluebeard, a character known for his dark secrets and forbidden chambers, instructing his wife with an air of sternness. The woman stands before him, her keys in hand as she contemplates whether to unlock the door that holds untold horrors within. The tension between curiosity and fear is palpable in her expression. This artwork not only showcases exceptional craftsmanship but also serves as an educational tool.
