About the piece
Painted around 1860, 'Negation' showcases Richard Dadd's signature style characterized by precise, almost microscopic detail and a luminous, crystalline atmosphere. The scene depicts a group of women and a child in traditional dress navigating a rocky terrain, capturing a moment of quiet interaction and enigmatic narrative typical of Dadd's institutional period.
