The artwork titled “Looking very undancey indeed” is an illustration created by Arthur Rackham, belonging to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. This piece is part of the series “Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.”
The artwork features a poised and elegantly dressed woman standing beneath a tree branch bearing fruit. She is adorned in a flowing, intricately patterned gown with voluminous sleeves and a richly detailed hemline. Her demeanor is contemplative, as she gazes to the side, emphasizing her refined yet tranquil presence. The subdued color palette and delicate linework characteristic of Rackham’s style capture a sense of otherworldly grace and nostalgia. The branches above, with their softly rendered fruit, frame the woman elegantly, contributing to the dreamlike quality of the artwork.
