A winged figure hovers over a flower that seems to give off its own light, the wings of a butterfly attached to a human-like body. Fairy imagery of this kind took off in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when illustrators drew on folklore, botany and the new fashion for fine-art book plates and magazine covers. Artists of the period often showed fairies as tiny, delicate beings tied to the natural world, and the glowing bloom here suggests the fantasy of a garden lit from within. Worth noticing is how the artist blends the insect and the human form so the figure reads as both creature and spirit.
