#caged bird

[yuumei-art]

Caged Wings Had this idea in my head for a while now. Finally gave it a go. Though my original idea was of a caged tiger, it somehow became birds as I sketched. Maybe I'll make another version with a tiger in the future~ Here's a quick timelapse. The full hours long 6 recording sessions for this painting, plus HD image and PSD file will be DMed on Patreon.com/Yuumei on April 5th.

The Gilded Cage

Artist: Evelyn de Morgan (English, 1855-1919)

Date: 1901-1902

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: De Morgan Collection, London, United Kingdom

Description

An overriding theme in Evelyn’s work was Women’s suffrage, this can best be illustrated by her iconic painting The Gilded Cage.

In the painting a young woman, dressed in sumptuous gold robes, looks wistfully at revellers outside, jewels and books lay discarded, on the floor by her feet. Her entrapment in a patriarchal society which dictated her confinement in the domestic sphere is echoed by the golden caged canary in the top right of the painting.

However, the morose look on the face of the older gentleman suggests that he too is not happy with this scenario. Perhaps he, in his turn, bemoans the folly of youth, which leads to the rejection of the knowledge and riches which he has to offer the young woman.
