The artwork titled “A large pigeon had flown into her face” was created by Charles Robinson in 1907. It is an illustration within the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is part of the artwork series for “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll from the same year.
The artwork depicts a surreal and whimsical scene in which a pigeon appears to fly directly towards the face of a young girl whose elongated neck curls in a serpentine manner, suggesting a fantastical or dream-like element in line with the story of Alice’s adventures. The background features softly colored clouds set against a blue sky, adding to the ethereal atmosphere. The girl’s expression is one of slight surprise or curiosity, and the overall composition combines elements of fantasy and innocence, characteristic of Robinson’s illustrative style.
