Measuring at an impressive size of 41.9x32.4 cm, this artwork is housed in the esteemed Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. In this enchanting illustration, we see a male figure seated under a majestic tree, surrounded by an ethereal atmosphere that evokes a sense of romance and wonder. The nude figure exudes tranquility as he reclines amidst nature's beauty, his contemplative pose inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the poem's lyrical verses. Blake masterfully captures the essence of Gray's poetry through delicate watercolors combined with pen and black ink detailing. This artistic collaboration transports us into a fairytale-like realm where fairies flit about playfully, adding an element of whimsy to the scene.

This remarkable piece serves as both an homage to two great artists and an invitation for us to delve deeper into their creative realms – where poetry intertwines with visual expression – leaving us captivated by their timeless allure.
