See http://win32builder.gnome.org/ or http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/home/ for a list of GTK+ bundles to install. These include the required cairo/cairo-2 libs.

• Extract the contents of the bin\ folder to e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\GTK2-bundle\ (any directory would do)
• Add the above directory to your PATH environment variable
• Restart your development environment (in my case PyCharm)
