About When her Majesty wants to know the time

The artwork, “When her Majesty wants to know the time,” is an illustration by Arthur Rackham, created as part of the illustration series for “Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.” This piece belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and explicitly falls within the genre of illustration.

The illustration depicts two figures in an engaging scene. The individual on the left, with delicate wings, appears to be a fairy, holding a dandelion ready to scatter its seeds. Facing the fairy, a well-dressed and elaborate gentleman in a traditional costume is pointing, seemingly engaged in conversation or asking a question. The details in the gentleman’s attire, such as the ruffled cuffs, ornate jacket, and stockings, reflect Rackham’s masterful attention to period clothing, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style. The background, rendered in soft hues, complements the whimsical and enchanting atmosphere of the scene.
