About the Illustration

In a dimly lit chamber, a woman in an elaborate floral gown extends her hand towards a small brazier burning with a pink flame. A second figure watches from the shadows, while light enters through an arched opening behind him. The dark architectural setting makes the glowing fire and patterned dress particularly striking. Goble gives the scene a feeling of secrecy, with the figures held in a quiet moment around the unusual source of light.

About the Artist

Warwick Goble (1862-1943) was a British illustrator whose work ranged from illustrated magazines to richly illustrated books.

His imaginative treatment of figures, gardens and landscapes places his work within the Golden Age of British book illustration.
