''Puck'' is an oil painting by the English artist Richard Dadd (1817–1886), completed in 1841. Dadd is best known for his works created after he became insane, but ''Puck'' is one of his earlier works, painted before the onset of his mental illness. The painting depicts Puck, a mischievous nature sprite or fairy, from English folklore and William Shakespeare's play ''A Midsummer Night's Dream''. Puck is often portrayed as a playful but harmless figure, embodying the spirit of nature and the uncanny.

In Dadd's interpretation, Puck is rendered with fine detail and vibrant colors, which was characteristic of the artist's meticulous style. The painting is imbued with a sense of whimsy and the supernatural, capturing the essence of the character that has intrigued audiences for centuries. Dadd's attention to detail extends to the flora and fauna surrounding Puck, creating a rich tapestry that suggests a deep connection between the sprite and the natural world.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its place in Dadd's oeuvre. It represents the artist's work during a period of relative normalcy before his descent into madness. Dadd was later diagnosed with a form of psychosis, possibly schizophrenia, after he murdered his father in 1843 and was subsequently institutionalized for the remainder of his life. During his time in psychiatric hospitals, he continued to paint, producing some of his most famous works, such as ''The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke''.

''Puck'' is an important piece for understanding the early development of Dadd's artistic vision and his fascination with the fantastical and the otherworldly. The painting is held in a private collection, and its influence can be seen in the broader context of Victorian fairy painting, a genre that Dadd contributed to significantly. ''Puck'' remains a testament to Dadd's talent and the enduring appeal of the subjects drawn from literature and folklore that he so skillfully brought to life.
