"I Know a Maiden Fair to See, Take Care!" is an oil painting by the Italian-born British artist Charles Edward Perugini (1839–1918). Created in 1860, the artwork is a fine example of Victorian era portraiture, showcasing Perugini's skill in capturing the delicate beauty and nuanced expression of his subjects. The title of the painting is derived from a line in a poem, which adds a literary dimension to the visual work, suggesting a narrative or moral lesson behind the depicted scene.

The painting portrays a young woman of striking beauty, her gaze directed towards the viewer, with an expression that is both inviting and cautionary. This duality is underscored by the poem from which the title is taken, hinting at the complexities of Victorian attitudes towards femininity and beauty. The subject's attire and the setting are typical of the period, reflecting the fashion and interior design of the upper classes during the mid-19th century.

Perugini, who was married to the famous English novelist Catherine Dickens, the daughter of Charles Dickens, was well-known for his genre paintings, portraits, and depictions of women and children. His work was influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, though he never became a member. "I Know a Maiden Fair to See, Take Care!" is emblematic of his style, which often combined romanticism with a keen eye for realism.

The painting is part of a private collection, but it has been exhibited on several occasions, allowing the public to appreciate Perugini's contribution to Victorian art. As a testament to its cultural significance, the painting has been discussed in various art historical texts and has been included in exhibitions that explore the representation of women in 19th-century art.
