"The Yellow Dwarf" is an oil painting by Sir John Gilbert (1817–1897), an English artist known for his work as an illustrator and painter during the Victorian era. The painting, which dates from the 19th century, is inspired by the fairy tale of the same name by Madame d'Aulnoy, a French writer known for her literary fairy tales during the 17th century. Gilbert's work often depicted scenes from literature, history, and the theater, and "The Yellow Dwarf" is a representation of his interest in narrative and romantic subjects.

The painting illustrates a pivotal moment from the fairy tale, where the titular character, the Yellow Dwarf, interferes in a romantic relationship, leading to dramatic and tragic consequences. The Yellow Dwarf is a malevolent figure who holds a princess captive with the threat of an unwanted marriage, embodying the themes of enchantment and struggle that are common in fairy tales.

Sir John Gilbert's rendition of this scene is characterized by his detailed and dramatic style, with a focus on the emotional intensity of the characters involved. The use of color, light, and composition in "The Yellow Dwarf" reflects the romantic and often gothic sensibilities of the period, drawing the viewer into the fairy tale world that Gilbert sought to capture on canvas.

The painting is part of Gilbert's broader body of work, which contributed to his reputation as a significant figure in Victorian art. He was a prolific artist, producing numerous illustrations for literary works, including Shakespeare's plays and Charles Dickens' novels, as well as paintings that were exhibited at the Royal Academy and other prestigious venues.

"The Yellow Dwarf" by Sir John Gilbert is an example of the intersection of visual art and literature in the 19th century, demonstrating the enduring influence of fairy tales on the artistic imagination and the cultural landscape of the time. The painting is a testament to Gilbert's skill in bringing literary scenes to life and his contribution to the Victorian art scene.
