The Fairy Ring | George Cruikshank | 1855

"The Fairy Ring" (1855) by George Cruikshank is a fantastical painting that depicts a magical nighttime gathering of fairies dancing in a glowing ring beneath a crescent moon. At the center, a fairy queen stands on a mushroom throne, surrounded by swirling masses of ethereal creatures. The scene is alive with movement—fairies flutter through the sky on bat-like wings, while others form luminous, circular patterns on the ground. Cruikshank masterfully blends whimsy and mystery, creating a dreamlike vision that reflects Victorian fascination with the supernatural and fairy folklore.
