The Gilded Cage is an oil painting by Evelyn De Morgan with apparent stylistic influences of spatial representation from Surrealist modes of thought her final work before her death in 1919. It is essentially an allegory for female hypnotic delirium.In this painting a woman looks out from what seems to be a window that may in fact be a scene from a mural painting within the greater composition with her hand stretched out and up in a gesture of yearning.
