A courtly company follows behind him, framed by a tall cypress and distant mountains. Flowering branches rise across the foreground, while the balustrade curves towards an arched bridge below. The strong diagonal of the steps gives the composition a sense of movement, balanced by the careful detail of the costumes, stonework and garden planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarwick Goble (1862-1943) was a British illustrator whose work ranged from illustrated magazines to richly illustrated books. His skill in watercolour and interest in Japanese and Indian art helped shape a distinctive style, combining delicate colour with flowing line and decorative detail. His imaginative treatment of figures, gardens and landscapes places his work within the Golden Age of British book illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warwick Goble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53503631327499,"sku":"WG-FR-018","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/7848\/9355\/files\/18-warwick-goble-fabled-realms-the-herald-on-the-palace-steps.jpg?v=1793699246","url":"https:\/\/www.archbooks.co.uk\/products\/warwick-goble-fabled-realms-the-herald-on-the-palace-steps","provider":"Arch Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
