Edward Burne-Jones executed this scene from the tale of Bluebeard, showing Fatima with the forbidden key. The composition captures the moment of temptation and discovery with Pre-Raphaelite intensity.
Burne-Jones often drew on fairy tales and legend for his subjects. His paintings combine moral drama with decorative beauty. This work remains in a private collection.
