"The Little Boy Found" is a hand-colored illuminated printing from William Blake’s iconic illustrated book *Songs of Innocence*. The image depicts a young boy being led by a woman, who is likely an angel or representation of innocence, through a wooded landscape. This image is characteristic of Blake's artistic style, combining detailed imagery with vibrant colors and an air of spirituality. It is a beautiful and moving testament to the enduring power of faith and hope, which remain a central theme in Blake's work.
