A small winged child stands beside a castle, and the whole scene sits inside a border cut and folded from paper, which sets it apart from the more formal angel images on this board. Decorative paper frames like this were popular in the 19th century, when hobbyists folded and layered colored paper into borders for sentimental and devotional pictures. The figure also shows how angels and fairies blurred in Victorian imagery, so winged children could appear in religious settings and in fairy tales alike.
