Few pictures on this board pair a crowned woman wearing antlers with an owl and a flower-crowned fairy, so this scene stands apart from the usual angelic figures. Antlers and owls belong to a long tradition of folklore symbols that artists drew on: antlers suggested wild, woodland power, while owls were tied to wisdom, the night and omens. Gathering such creatures around a crowned woman and a fairy points to an allegorical scene rather than a literal one, a approach common in illustration and decorative prints of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. No maker or date is recorded here, so the meaning is best read from the symbols themselves.
