A winged figure rests among sprigs of lavender on a pink cushion, a pose that places this picture in the long tradition of fairy and angel imagery meant to delight and to moralize at once. Images of small winged beings flourished in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when illustrators, greeting-card makers and painters drew on folklore, Romantic poetry and Victorian sentiment to picture spirits of flowers and gardens. Lavender, prized for its scent and its association with calm, suits a scene of quiet repose, and the soft pink ground gives the figure a gentle, intimate setting. Viewers interested in religious iconography may notice how the line between a guardian angel and a woodland fairy blurred in popular art of this period.
