Original – Lewis Carroll was enthralled by this painting - he counted 165 fairies in it! Every time you look at it, you find extra details

Reason: High quality image by a Scottish pre-Raphaelite artist, Joseph Noel Paton, on display in the Scottish National Gallery, depicting a scene from the well known Shakespeare comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream; just teeming with beautiful fairies - what more could you ask for?
Articles in which this image appears: The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania (brand new article still very much being developed); A Midsummer Night's Dream; Joseph Noel Paton; Scottish National Gallery plus 5 others.

^{I told her that fairies don't wear clothes. She said "What about those two, in the armor? Me, Bencherlite? I wear clothes even when I don't. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:57, 21 November 2014 (UTC)}[reply]

^{Anyway, this is one of the most terrible and most amazing painting I have ever seen in my life. Even Mona Lisa fails (When I saw it in Louvre, I was dumbstruck). I too want them to be clad, but Paton don't want that. Plus, it took me more than an hour to count the fairies (I got 124 fist, then 132, 145, 101 and then finally 142 and I left!!). Better not to be a critic and counter. Can any of you could count and beat Carol?? --The Herald 15:09, 21 November 2014 (UTC)}[reply]
