The King and the Beggar-maid — Edmund Blair Leighton Postcard

An art postcard after Edmund Blair Leighton's The King and the Beggar-maid, the Victorian retelling of the Cophetua legend in which a crowned monarch lays aside his power for a barefoot girl in a plain white shift. Leighton paints the moment when wealth quiets and the gesture matters more than the throne behind it.

Print it for a card collection, send it as a thoughtful note about devotion, or pair it with the rest of the Edmund Blair Leighton series and the wider painting art postcards.
