i've seen this painting online for years and always wondered what it was depicting-- but seems like that's unknown! It's not a subject from mythology or fantasy, or at least nothing that has been published.
John Duncan, Heptu Bidding Farewell to The City of Obb (Oil on canvas), 1909.

oooh, may I please ask which book of John McKirdy Duncan you ended up getting??
I have 'The Paintings of John Duncan: A Scottish Symbolist' by John Kemplay! It's the only book I've found so far that is dedicated to his art. There was at least one other book I read that featured him amongst other artists, but if I remember correctly it was in black and white.
#if anyone has other recs for books that feature his work (or work from the symbolist and celtic revival movements) I'd love to know!#ask

And, all around
We heard such a magical sound
O fiddles and flutes did we hear
As we did get near
Tis the faery folk
And not a word may be spoke
Why, a secret they must be
For, not everyone can see
Poem written by Athey Thompson
Art by John McKirdy Duncan, 1909
Tales of the old Forest Faeries
