Mirror of Autumn (poster)

"Mirror of Autumn" (2009) is a colored pencil drawing by Prague artist Marie Brožová. Created in her atelier, the original artwork is an A3 format piece, measuring 42 × 29.7 cm (16.5 × 11.7 inches).

The Story Behind the Art

An unseen fairy combs her long blonde hair, gazing into a mirror hidden at the heart of a majestic oak tree. Her reflection is perfectly clear behind the glass, yet in our physical world, she remains merely a whisper in the shimmering autumn light. The woods are alive with the joy of a golden day—a squirrel gathers nuts, a swallow with a suitcase prepares for her flight toward the sun, a hedgehog basks to warm up before his winter sleep, and a doe carefully scents the fairy’s shadow near a basket of golden apples. Even the woodland sprites celebrate the warmth, hanging autumn offerings from the boughs.

Hidden Details to Discover

Look closely at the swallow's luggage to find a tiny Czech flag, a clever guide to ensure she finds her way back home when spring arrives.
