Artwork designed and digitally remastered by Sarasvati Designs. Rita Rides on the Dolphin is a 1911 illustration by Warwick Goble for the fairy tale "The Three Enchanted Princes" from the Pentamerone, a collection of Italian fairy tales by Giambattista Basile. The illustration depicts Rita, a young woman with long flowing hair and a flowing gown, riding on the back of a dolphin across a turquoise sea. The fairy tale "The Three Enchanted Princes" is about three princes who are cursed by an evil witch to live as animals until they can find someone who will love them for who they are, even if they are not in human form. The first prince is transformed into a falcon, the second is transformed into a stag, and the third is transformed into a dolphin. They are banished from the kingdom and must live in the wild until they can break the curse. One day, three sisters are walking in the forest when they come across the three enchanted princes. The sisters are initially frightened by the animals, but they eventually come to love them and agree to marry them. The King eventually welcomes the three enchanted princes into the kingdom, and the curse is broken. The princes transform back into human form, and they and their wives live happily ever after.
