Most Bitter Moonseed 1905

"Most Bitter Moonseed" is a 1905 work by the English Pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Burne-Jones. The artwork depicts a winged, cloaked figure in a landscape with hills and a distant village. The figure's posture and the dramatic lighting suggest a sense of melancholy and loneliness. The work reflects Burne-Jones's fascination with mythology and symbolism, which is evident in the figure's winged form and the title's poetic obscurity. The use of muted colors and fine detail are characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite style.
