A fairy girl holding a sprig of lily of the valley, with blue wings spread behind her, places this picture in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century vogue for fairy imagery in illustration and decorative art. Artists of that period often paired child figures with flowers that carried symbolic meaning, and lily of the valley, a small white bloom associated with purity and the return of spring, suited the theme well. The gallery files it under angels and fairies, a grouping that shows how easily sacred and folkloric winged figures blended in popular illustration of the time.
