"The Magic Circle" is a painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse, completed in 1886. The artwork is a prime example of Waterhouse's fascination with enchanting, mystical themes and his penchant for depicting scenes drawn from mythology and legend. It showcases a solitary witch or sorceress standing within a chalk-drawn circle, which she has inscribed on the ground to perform a ritual. The figure is set against a barren landscape, and she is seen holding a sickle, a traditional symbol of harvest and a tool often associated with magic rituals.

Waterhouse's depiction of the sorceress is both powerful and enigmatic, capturing the viewer's imagination with her intense gaze and the intricate details of her attire and the objects surrounding her. The painting is rich in symbolism, with various elements such as the raven, a creature often linked to prophecy and the supernatural, and the smoldering fire, suggesting the presence of elemental powers at work.

"The Magic Circle" is rendered in Waterhouse's signature style, which combines classical techniques with a romanticized approach, resulting in a captivating blend of realism and fantasy. The artist's use of color and light adds to the mystical atmosphere of the scene, with the warm tones of the fire contrasting against the cooler hues of the landscape and the sorceress's robes.

This painting is one of several works by Waterhouse that explore themes of female magic and sorcery, reflecting the Victorian era's complex attitudes towards women and power. "The Magic Circle" is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its evocative portrayal of otherworldly themes, and it remains a significant work within Waterhouse's oeuvre and the broader context of Pre-Raphaelite art. The painting is part of the permanent collection of the Tate Britain in London.
