一隻鳥啄他的袖子叫醒了他 by Ivan Bilibin, 1917

Ivan Bilibin, the legendary illustrator of Russian fairy tales, captures a quiet moment of magic in this 1917 piece. A young hero in traditional folk clothing sleeps deeply in a birch forest, only to be roused by a majestic, dark-blue bird with an elaborate, curling tail pecking at his sleeve. The scene is wrapped in a distinctive zigzag border, a hallmark of Bilibin's unique style that beautifully blended ancient Slavic folklore with the flowing, decorative lines of Art Nouveau.
