拍品专文

The subject is taken from Maurice Maeterlinck's The Blue Bird, a play in six acts, published by Methuen & Co. Ltd. in 1911. The story concerns two children Tyltyl and Mytyl on their travels through various fairy infested kingdoms in the pursuit of happiness. Influenced by the paintings of Rossetti, Burne-Jones and Watts, Cayley Robinson often painted in tempera in a distinctive linear style.
