The Lady of Pity-Me is giving a ball..

Description

(fan art of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell)

I remember Lady Pole saying these words in the TV series, but I think they were in the book too... And for some reason, it's one of the sentences that come to my mind whenever I think about Susanna Clarke's universe. It ended up being a depiction of the fairies themselves: deceitful, inhuman, yet trying to copy the "Christians", cruel but innocent, savage, yet desperately clinging to an illusion of civilisation... The first victims of their own games of illusions and shadows.

The step-by-step can be found in my scraps, here!

Looks a bit creepy which I love. The texture really fits the nature/creepy vibe, too. Overall a very curious image, it makes me wonder more about the story.
