Prince Mitgefühl had an old hag arrested because she seemed to be trying to poison the guests at his wedding party by pouring copper sulfate into the food. When the hag was taken to the jail she was discovered to be none other than Queen Vergeblich, the stepmother of Snow White, the bride at the wedding. Further investigation revealed that the queen had attempted to murder Snow White on at least two other occasions. A Trial was held in the local castle with many people in the audience because everyone knew Snow White.

FJKluth Art Gallery will display our latest exhibition: The Trial of Queen Vergeblich, The Stepmother of Snow White. The exhibition features drawings by Koen Satyawan from sketches by Frederick John Kluth.

The pieces in the exhibition will display the trial of Queen Vergeblich portrayed in 12 drawings. While also on display will be paintings and antiques featuring classic Germanic imagery and symbolism from FJKluth Art Gallery’s collection.
