About the piece

Painted in 1918 by Evelyn De Morgan, this Symbolist work captures a trio of luminous female figures as personified moonbeams. The soft, iridescent palette and fluid composition create a sense of weightless descent from the celestial orb to the gentle waves below, exemplifying De Morgan's masterful use of light and mythological allegory.
