A winged figure in a blue dress, cradling a bunch of roses, sits within the gallery's angels and fairies group, where the line between sacred and folkloric imagery has always been loose. Images like this drew on a long tradition of winged messengers in Christian art, which painters and illustrators later softened into gentler, more decorative forms. Roses carried layered meaning, standing for love and beauty in secular settings and for the Virgin Mary in devotional ones. Viewers in the period would have read the flowers and the blue robe, a color long tied to heaven and purity, as signals of the figure's gentle, benevolent nature.
