This is an Arthur Rackham painting created for a book with a collection of stories called "Little Brother and Little Sister and Other Tales". The exact story this was illustrated for is called "The True Sweetheart", a German fairy tale from the Brother's Grimm stories. She was a foresaken girl who thought her prince would come back to marry her. He forgot about her and was going to marry someone else. She then was determined to get him back by wearing her dress with the stars that sparkled. The first two dresses she wore didn't make any impression on him. She put this third dress on with stars that sparkled and kissed him. He rememberred her instantly... and they lived happily ever after! A sticker is also available for purchase. <div style="text-align:centre;line-height:150%"><img src="http://rlv.zcache.com/princess_with_sparkle_dress_large_size_sticker-p217334623500512178711n_125.jpg" alt="Princess with Sparkle Dress Large Size sticker" style="border:0;" /> Princess with Sparkle Dress Large Size by CollageMontage Browse more </div>

I'm glad to know this gallery inspires you! It inspires me also! That would be a great thought to put real glitter on your painting! I don't know if I've ever seen that idea. It would be another avenue of style for you!
Love the "sparkle dress" tale! LOVE the Arthur Rackham painting!
A FAVORITE! I took my kids to the Brother's Grimm museum in Kassel, Germany. Put this on your list Lorrie! I had thought about putting real glitter on some of the dresses in my "Paris Vintage" image...I think I will make some cards of that image this weekend...This gallery really inspires me.
