More about this artwork

Warwick Goble's enchanting illustration, "The Lizard showing Goat-Face the Palace," captures the essence of a magical moment woven from the threads of fantasy and wonder. Crafted in 1911, this painting delicately portrays a young, thoughtful girl seated beside a vividly green, anthropomorphic lizard. The backdrop features a dreamy landscape dominated by an ethereal palace perched atop a distant hill, shrouded in a misty haze that adds an air of mystery and allure.The composition radiates a serene yet intriguing atmosphere, and Goble's use of soft watercolors contributes to the overall gentle and otherworldly feel of the scene. The girl, dressed in a simple, timeless attire, engages with the lizard, whose intent posture and upward gaze suggest it is either listening intently or about to impart some important secret or narrative about the distant castle. This interaction leads the viewer to ponder the relationship between the characters and the significance of the palace in their story.
