Titled Fantasy Fairies059, this work carries a numbered designation that suggests it belongs to a larger set of similar pieces. Fairy imagery in Western art grew out of folklore about spirits of woods and gardens, and by the late 19th century painters and illustrators often showed these beings as delicate, dreamlike figures. Its placement under religious subjects reflects how angels and fairies were long grouped together as supernatural messengers in older visual traditions.
