Two small winged fairies hover over a branch in full blossom, painted in delicate watercolour with the loose, luminous washes typical of fairy painting. Pictures like this belong to a popular Victorian and Edwardian vogue, when artists in Britain and America drew on Shakespeare's *A Midsummer Night's Dream* and folklore to people the natural world with tiny, gauzy spirits. The gallery files it under religious angels and fairies, a pairing that reflects how often the two figures blurred together in nineteenth-century illustration, where winged beings could be read as messengers of either faith or folk belief. Watch the transparent wings and the pale pink petals, which the painter has left largely unpainted to let the paper glow through.
