books0977:The King’s Daughter (1902). Lucien Victor Guirand de Scévola (French, 1871-1950). Pencil and watercolor on paper.The Pre-Raphaelite movement enjoyed a second wave of popularity in France in the 1890s, and the young princess in the present painting is evocative of the fairy tales and legend which were the basis of the Pre-Raphaelite repertoire. The handling of the young princess’s costume, with its rich, dark colors accentuated by golden embossing is reminiscent of the technique of Gustave Moreau. -- source link
