Original Description
Percy Tarrant's watercolor masterpiece They Flitted By In Their New Robes captures the ethereal beauty of nature through delicate brushwork and luminous washes. Created circa early 20th century during Britain's Golden Age of illustration, the artwork depicts a whimsical procession of winged fairies draped in translucent gowns, emerging from dappled woodland sunlight with botanical precision. As a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, Tarrant perfected this romantic Edwardian style—bridging Pre-Raphaelite detail with Art Nouveau fluidity—while contributing to the era's flourishing children's book illustration tradition. The painting's technical brilliance in rendering light through layered pigments established it as exemplary among British watercolor fantasies, echoing contemporaries like Arthur Rackham yet maintaining Tarrant's distinctive gossamer realism. Its museum-grade preservation makes surviving originals particularly prized by collectors of early fantasy art.
For harmonious interior placement, this dreamlike work demands careful spatial consideration. Its vertical composition (approximately 16x24 inches) suits narrow wall spaces like reading nooks or staircase landings, where viewers can appreciate intricate details at close range. Pair with organic textures—perhaps a walnut floating frame and linen-upholstered furnishings—to enhance its woodland mystique while keeping wall colors restrained (soft sage or parchment white). In offices, position near daylight sources to activate its shimmering hues, ideally complementing Art Nouveau brass fixtures or Tiffany-style glass decor. For color continuity, introduce accent elements echoing the painting's palette: celadon green throw pillows, pearlescent ceramic vases, or iridescent mother-of-pearl finishes. Avoid competing patterns; let the artwork's intricate naturalism remain the visual anchor while scaled reproduction prints could extend the enchanted atmosphere to adjacent spaces.
