"The Queen of Hearts" is an oil painting by John Byam Liston Shaw, a British painter known for his work during the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Created in 1901, the painting is a visual interpretation of the character from the nursery rhyme of the same name, and it also draws inspiration from the figure in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Shaw's depiction is rich in symbolic detail and vibrant color, characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's style, which emphasized a return to the abundant detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art.

The painting portrays the Queen of Hearts in a moment of regal authority, surrounded by motifs and iconography that enhance the narrative of the rhyme and the allusions to playing cards. Shaw's work often explored themes of love, chivalry, and beauty, and "The Queen of Hearts" is no exception, showcasing his ability to blend literary references with visual artistry. The piece is a testament to Shaw's skill in capturing the essence of Victorian-era aesthetics and his contribution to the broader tapestry of British art history.

As a member of the Royal Academy and an associate of the Pre-Raphaelites, Shaw's work, including "The Queen of Hearts," reflects the influence of his mentors, such as John Everett Millais and Edward Burne-Jones, while also demonstrating his unique creative vision. The painting is part of a larger body of work that helped define the later stages of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, and it continues to be studied for its technical proficiency and its embodiment of the era's artistic values.
