Is any cozened of a tear Which as pearl disdain does wear 1920

Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale's 1920 painting "Is any cozened of a tear Which as pearl disdain does wear" depicts a young, winged cherub bound in a wooden stocks. The cherub’s sorrowful expression and the arrows scattered nearby suggest a playful yet melancholic moment. The painting captures the whimsical nature of Brickdale's work, which often featured children and mythical creatures in idyllic settings. Brickdale's art exemplifies the Pre-Raphaelite style, known for its detailed brushwork, symbolism, and focus on medieval and romantic themes.
