A pastiche of what I've identified to be 1950s Gothic Revival - Jules Engel for "Robin Hoodlum," various 'Castle" board games I've seen from the period, Pseudo Gothic Playing Cards, Eyvind Earle for "Sleeping Beauty," and especially Gunther Schneider-Siemssen's legendary 1952 Metropolitan production of "Tannhaueser." It died in interior design by '58, was on its last legs when "Camelot" was released, and was completely dead by "The Sword in the Stone."
I can't for the life of me get that color of casein blue they used - vis a vis the lower left of Motherwell's "Pancho Villa Dead and Alive" - but I'd say this is cool besides.
All those vertical lines and diagonal tesselations - the stiff poses and controlled colors, the jaggedly stylized tree branches, the sheer middle-class warmth, the jewel-like grass, and the overall 'country club' look. You know the style! ^^
Evidently, this leonine queen has discovered her courtiers and her handmaidens succumbing to the season... <3 She don't look pleased, but the rest seem quite jubilant.
It's May, the lusty month of May - that darling month when everyone throws self-control away.
It's time to do a wretched thing or two and try to make each precious day one you'll always rue!
It's May, it's May, the month of yes you may - the time for every frivolous whim, proper or im- -
It's wild, it's gay, a blot in every way
The birds and bees with all of their vast amorous past gaze at the human race aghast, the lusty month of may!
It's May, it's May, the month of great dismay - when all the world is brimming with fun, wholesome or un-!
It's mad, it's gay, a libelous display,
Those dreary vows that everyone takes, everyone breaks, everyone makes divine mistakes, the lusty month of May!

Aww, thanks!
The only one I'm proud of is the Alsatian with a lute, surprised but not quite distressed until after he finishes the cadence. A subtlety that took a lot of work to capture (and as a lioness yourself, you can tell I butchered my reference photos for the queen). But if you like them so much, I must be doing something right. (I love how subtle your expressions are.)
