Presented as the only figure on the canvas, the 'Sleeping Beauty' lies like a statue upon a glittering gold plinth. 🌺 ✨⠀
.⠀
Archibald Wakley's sensitive portrayal of the famous fairy tale provides hope accentuated by the inclusion of the Latin phrase 'Amor Vincit Omnia' (Love Conquers Everything) around the plinth of the sundial.⠀
.⠀
The princess is bejewelled with miniature 'Aesthetic' peacocks and the thorned foliage, supposedly entrapping the princess, is in full bloom, creating an Arcadian landscape.⠀

Archibald Wakley (1873-1906), 'The Sleeping Beauty', 1903. Estimate: £100,000- £150,000.⠀
