"Ferdinand Lured By Ariel", 1849
by John Everett Millais (1829-1896)
From "Victorian Fairy Paintings"
I found out that this painting was based on Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" (which I last read as a young schoolgirl!). Interesting contrast between the supernatural and the natural in this painting.
