The Lady of Shalott by John William Waterhouse
The Lady of Shalott (1888)
John William Waterhouse | Pre-Raphaelite | Oil on canvas
A beautiful lady sets off down a river in a little boat. She looks sad but magical as she drifts toward Camelot!
Did you know? This painting comes from a poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. In it, the Lady is under a curse and can only see the world through a mirror, until she turns to look at Sir Lancelot himself. Waterhouse painted her three times!
