A winged queen holds a trident above a group of young women seated in a small boat, pairing the fairy tradition with sea imagery usually reserved for Neptune. The trident, a classical emblem of ocean power, sets this figure apart from the flower-crowned fairies more common in illustration. Scenes of women adrift in boats were popular in European art of the 1800s, often suggesting romance, rescue or passage to another world.
