About the piece

Created in 1901 by Arthur Gaskin, this tempera on panel work depicts Kilhwych, a mythological figure from the Mabinogion. The painting is a hallmark of the Birmingham School's Arts and Crafts style, featuring a flattened perspective, intricate garment patterns, and a rich, jewel-like palette that recalls medieval tapestries and manuscript illumination.
