The illustration shows Hansel and Gretel wandering through a mysterious forest on a branching search for the witch's house. The scene is in the style of a classic vintage silhouette, which gives it a nostalgic and almost fairytale-like atmosphere. The fine, sharp contours and detailed shading create a high-contrast depiction in which the darkness of the forest and the delicate figures of the children appear almost like silhouettes. The black background emphasises the lived, simple beauty of the silhouette.
