Catalogued as number 058 in a series of angel pictures, this item is distinguished from its neighbors mainly by its sequence number, since its record gives no artist, date, or location. Angels have appeared in Christian art since the early medieval period, usually as winged messengers, and in the nineteenth century illustrators borrowed the same wings for fairies and other small winged beings. Comparing this picture's pose, wings, and setting with those conventions can show whether it follows the older religious tradition or the lighter, sentimental style that grew popular later.
