The background features a pastoral setting with bare-branched trees and a soft, almost sepia-toned landscape, creating a sense of enchantment typical of Rackham’s illustrative style. The overall composition exudes a magical charm, coupling the ethereal subject matter with the fluid, sinuous lines characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement.
