"The Fairy" is a notable sculpture created by French artist Joseph Bernard (1866–1931), a prominent figure in early 20th-century figurative sculpture. Born in Vienne, Isère, Bernard was a contemporary of artists such as Auguste Rodin and Antoine Bourdelle, and he developed a distinctive style characterized by a focus on the female form, often imbued with a sense of movement and lyrical grace.

Crafted in the early 20th century, "The Fairy" exemplifies Bernard's artistic philosophy, which emphasized simplicity of form and purity of line. The sculpture is a representation of a mythical fairy, a subject that allows for the exploration of both the human figure and the fantastical elements associated with these ethereal beings. Bernard's work often reflects the influence of Art Nouveau, with its organic shapes and flowing lines, yet his sculptures also hint at the emerging modernist aesthetic that would come to dominate the arts.

"The Fairy" is executed in Bernard's preferred medium, which frequently included stone or bronze, materials that allowed him to achieve the smooth surfaces and refined contours that are hallmarks of his work. The sculpture captures the delicate balance between realism and idealism, as the fairy figure is rendered with anatomical accuracy while also embodying an otherworldly charm and elegance.

Joseph Bernard's contributions to sculpture were recognized in his lifetime, and he was awarded the Legion of Honour in 1925. "The Fairy" remains an important work within Bernard's oeuvre, reflecting his mastery of form and his ability to convey the intangible qualities of myth and fantasy through the solidity of sculptural media. The piece is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its place within the context of French sculpture during a period of transition from the 19th to the 20th century.

Today, "The Fairy" is appreciated for its artistic merit and as an example of the themes and techniques prevalent in the sculpture of its time. It continues to be studied and admired by art historians and enthusiasts, and it holds a place in the collections of museums or private collectors that seek to represent the diversity of early modern European sculpture.
