Title
Page seventeen from 'Flora's Feast', the Blossom
Description
A female figure dressed in classical robes and wearing a garland of flowers on her head playfully dances with a banner of white and red blossoms. The accompanying text reads:
"Sweet masking May, in white or red,
Her snowy cloud of blossom spread".
Artist / maker
Crane, Walter

1902

In this illustration Crane reveals the influence of Botticelli through the styling of the female figure, particularly her facial features and hair.
Again Crane proves himself adept at depicting movement. In addition to this the free form of the classical dress as its blown around the woman reinforces his belief in alternative fashion.
