Title
Page twenty-eight from 'Flora's Feast', the Ox-eye Daisy
Description
A young woman lifts her hand to her forehead in order to look for something in the distance. She's wearing a dress with a wide collar fashioned from petals and holds a floral staff. She is joined by an ox with daisies in place of eyes. The accompanying text reads:
"Wide Ox-eyes in the meads that gaze".
Artist / maker
Crane, Walter
Date
1902
Size
25.0 x 18.5 cm
Type
Publisher's print
Location

In another depiction of pastoral idealism the flower figure in this image is shown to be living harmoniously alongside the animals and living off the land. Furthermore Crane continues to comment on fashion by showing the figure to be wearing more practical clothing that is better suited for agricultural work.
Crane's enjoyment of wordplay is again demonstrated here as the ox gazes with its ox-eye daisy eyes.
