Summary

Description
English: Charles Sims, A Fairy Wooing, exhibited at the Royal Academy, London, 1898 (no. 209)[1]; oil on canvas, 36 x 54 inches. Alan Sims, the painter's son, wrote that his father "crossed the borders of fairyland for the first time with 'A Fairy Wooing', and achieved lightness at a bound. Nothing so rich and delicate in fancy had ever shone out from the walls of the Academy before. The chill academic nymphs stared down their marmoreal noses in astonishment." (Charles Sims, Picture Makingː Technique & Inspiration, 1934, p. 102.) Reproduced in color with a brief essay, p. 47, Great Pictures in Private Galleries, Londonː Cassell and Co., Ltd., 1905 (with the acknowledgment, "in the Collection of Fairfax Rhodes, Esq.").

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

 Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
