William Blake’s “Songs of Experience: The Little Girl Found (second plate)” from 1789-1825 showcases Blake’s signature combination of poetry and illustration. This intricate artwork from his illuminated printing series depicts a scene from the poem with a young girl and two lions amidst a lush, swirling landscape. Blake’s style is evident in the intricate details of the natural world, juxtaposed with the innocence of the child figure, highlighting themes of loss, innocence, and the search for meaning in experience.
