Gulliver erschrickt vor drei riesigen Bettlern im Land Brobdingnag

Französische Grafik 1855–1870, 1862

This is a painting of a surreal scene featuring a figure looking out of a window at three large faces. The painting depicts an interior setting with a figure seated on the floor facing away, looking out through a large window. Outside the window, three gigantic heads are visible, each with exaggerated features and expressions. The colors used are soft, with a mix of pinks, blues, and browns. The style of the painting closely resembles Gustave Doré's work. The surrounding curtains and furnishings are detailed, adding depth and perspective to the scene.
