"The Magic Circle" is a renowned painting by the British artist John William Waterhouse, completed in 1886. This work is a quintessential example of the Pre-Raphaelite style, a movement that Waterhouse is often associated with, despite the fact that his peak years came after the movement's heyday. The painting depicts a solitary witch or sorceress standing within a drawn circle on the ground, which she appears to be consecrating with a wand, amidst a desolate landscape. The circle, a symbol of protection and magical practice, suggests that she is performing a ritual or spell.

Waterhouse's meticulous attention to detail, use of vibrant colors, and the incorporation of symbols and motifs that draw from mythology and legend are evident in this work. The figure's commanding presence, combined with the use of natural elements like the raven and the skull, evoke a sense of the mystical and the arcane. "The Magic Circle" is celebrated for its captivating portrayal of the witch as a figure of power and mystery, diverging from the more common malevolent depictions of the time.

The painting is housed in the Tate Britain, London, and remains one of Waterhouse's most famous and admired works. It reflects the artist's fascination with themes of magic, the occult, and the femme fatale, themes that recur throughout his oeuvre. "The Magic Circle" stands as a testament to Waterhouse's skill in blending classical techniques with the romantic and mystical subjects that defined the Pre-Raphaelite movement, making it a pivotal piece in the study of late 19th-century British art.
