The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke is a painting by the English artist Richard Dadd, begun in 1855 and worked on until 1864. Dadd painted it while confined in the State Criminal Lunatic Asylum of Bethlem Royal Hospital, where he had been held since killing his father in 1843. The densely detailed fairy scene was commissioned by George Henry Haydon, the hospital's head steward at the time.
