This professional watercolor painting on artist-grade paper captures one of Efteling’s most iconic characters—Langnek from the Fairytale Forest (Sprookjesbos)—surrounded by the warm, golden tones of autumn.
Painted in soft, flowing washes and layered detail, Langnek rises calmly above the forest floor, his long neck stretching through trees tinged in reds, oranges, and amber browns. There’s a quiet stillness in his expression, a peaceful watchfulness that matches the season’s slowing pace. The leaves flutter, the air feels crisp, and Langnek simply watches the world go by.
As a Dutch artist with a lifelong love for Efteling, this painting is a tribute to the beauty of simple magic—to fairytales rooted in nature, and characters who don’t speak, yet say so much.
