Studies of Fairies with a Pair of Hands (possibly representing the Opening of Pandora's Box) 1784 William Lock the Younger British The son of a prominent art collector, Lock studied with William Gilpin and became a favorite of Henry Fuseli who described the youth's drawings as "unrivaled by any man of this day...for invention, taste and spirit." Despite such encouragement, Lock largely gave up artistic practice while still in his twenties. This sheet of sketches centers on an open casket containing female figures and winged creatures whose classical drapery and idealized bodies recall Fuselis depictions of Ariel from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Nights Dream," and Gloriana from Spenser's "Faerie Queene." Other forms, such as the thin-winged creature at the far left, anticipate the fanciful fairies created by Victorian artists..
