Sherlock Holmes "The Dancing Men" illustration (My Wife Threw Her Arms Round Me) by Sidney Paget (1903)

Sale price¥44,000

This is an illustration by Sidney Paget of a scene from the short story "The Adventure of the Dancing Men" from "The Return of Sherlock Holmes," which was serialized in The Strand Magazine in 1903.
This scene depicts the tense moment when the mysterious "dancing dolls" code is once again painted on the door of their house, and Hilton Cubitt's wife desperately tries to stop her husband. Shadows creep in the moonlight, leaving behind a strange code - this is a classic scene that gets to the heart of the story.

Paget skillfully depicts the stillness of the darkness and the psychological tension of the characters, symbolizing the worldview of the Holmes stories. This work is a double-sided print of a single page, and the reverse side also contains the code of the dancing dolls.
