Filed under a catalog number rather than a named scene, this picture is one of a numbered series of fantasy fairy images that the gallery groups with angels under religious occasions. The title alone does not say who made it or when, so its details are worth reading closely. Fairies and angels share a long visual history in European and American art, where winged figures could stand for messengers, guardians, or the boundary between the human world and something beyond it. Many nineteenth- and early twentieth-century artists softened fairies into delicate, decorative companions, which is why wings, gauze-like drapery, and small scale often reward a slow look.
