Illustration from Old Tales Retold: The Beloved Fool, June 1945 issue of Britannia and Eve. Wonderful expressions of Henry VIII and Cardinal Wolsey reacting to Will Somer's joke about the pope. Matania's typically extraordinary rendition of horses beautifully complement the scene.

Matania never disappoints.  An artist among a generation of illustrators.

Wow!  This is amazing.  The horses are perfectly rendered, and the expressions and poses are spot on.  Love the hint of architecture and landscape to set the scene and it's just s beautifully composed image.
