Lewis Carroll Appraisal

Alice in Wonderland Character Collage/Illustration

This item is a digital illustration or composite image, likely dating from the late 20th or early 21st century given its digital nature and clear, layered composition. It features a collection of iconic characters and symbols from Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' arranged within a loose, ethereal, grey-white frame or outline that suggests an abstract, flowing shape. The most prominent figures include Alice, depicted with light blonde hair, a blue dress with a white apron, and white mary jane shoes, holding a small white object and a blue bottle. Her pose suggests a moment of contemplation or action. Near her are two distinctly colored crimson and white spotted mushrooms, serving as a perch or ground element. To the left, a white rabbit's head is visible, with soft pink ears, holding a golden pocket watch with a gold chain, depicting a classic Roman numeral face. Directly above Alice, a vibrant blue and purple Cheshire Cat's head with bright green eyes and a wide, toothy grin floats, its form appearing somewhat transparent or ethereal. To the right of Alice, a large 'Queen of Hearts' playing card with a prominent red heart symbol is displayed, and above it, a golden crown adorned with red jewels signifies royalty. The overall composition is playful and whimsical, typical of 'Alice in Wonderland' themes. The digital quality suggests a clean, crisp output with no visible physical wear, damage, or repairs, as it exists in a digital format. The color palette is vivid and distinct, contributing to the fantastical nature of the scene. There are no discernible manufacturing details, maker's marks, or signatures within the image, which is common for digital fan art or illustrations not intended for formal publication.
