"Illustration from The King of the Golden Mountain" is a notable work by Arthur Rackham, a renowned English book illustrator, created for the 1900 edition of "The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm" published by Freemantle. Rackham's contribution to the visual interpretation of classic fairy tales has been significant, and his work for the Grimm's collection is among his most celebrated. The illustration for "The King of the Golden Mountain" captures the essence of the fairy tale, which tells the story of a merchant's son who, after a series of betrayals and adventures, becomes the ruler of a magical mountain.

Rackham's illustration style is characterized by its intricate detail, whimsy, and a blend of the grotesque with the ethereal, often set against atmospheric backgrounds. His use of pen and ink, coupled with watercolor washes, resulted in images that were both vivid and delicate. This particular illustration is a fine example of Rackham's ability to convey narrative depth and emotional subtlety, bringing the characters and the setting to life in a manner that complements the text.

The 1900 edition of "The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm" with Rackham's illustrations was well-received and contributed to the early 20th-century revival of interest in fairy tales.
