Image description

Richard Doyle was one of the first artists to gain a reputation during the Victorian period as a painter and illustrator of fairy and fantasy subjects. In his later years he concentrated on producing watercolours for sale through London’s commercial galleries. In this example, a ghostly figure drives a flock of young dragons along the shore of a Scottish loch. The piercing white moon and Doyle’s favourite shades of blue are used to eerie effect. The composition is based on a wood-engraved illustration made after an earlier watercolour.
