The image shows a scene from a fairy tale by Charles Perrault, where the main characters are preparing for an important moment - fitting on a crystal shoe. We see a beautiful lady sitting on a throne, who looks with hope at a man in elegant clothes with a feather on her hat. He, in turn, confidently appears before her, and next to her is a boy who, apparently, is ready to help in this important moment. This illustration conveys the atmosphere of magic and expectation inherent in the classic fairy tale.
