Known for his Pre-Raphaelite style, Rheam's work often features romantic and fantastical themes, and "Once upon a Time" is no exception. The painting depicts a young woman, possibly a fairy tale character, seated in a lush, enchanted forest. She is engrossed in reading a book, suggesting a narrative within a narrative, as the title itself evokes the timeless opening of many fairy tales.

The composition of "Once upon a Time" is meticulously detailed, with Rheam's characteristic use of vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The woman's flowing dress and the surrounding flora are rendered with a delicate precision that draws the viewer into the scene. The play of light and shadow in the painting enhances its magical atmosphere, creating a sense of depth and realism that is both enchanting and immersive.

Rheam's work is often associated with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which emphasized beauty, detail, and a return to the elaborate and symbolic art of the early Renaissance.
