William Blake

Ideal for thinking of you or new baby occasions, this image channels the tenderness of protection and the wonder of early life. A barefoot figure carries a winged child through a golden field, evoking guardianship, innocence, and spiritual kinship. Blake’s blend of the earthly and divine speaks to a strength and care that transcend words.
