Descriptions:

Embracing a preference for Classical poses and elegant compositions as a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, John William Waterhouse was fascinated by beautiful heroines of literary legend. The opening of the passionate and longing chapter of the narrative poemMaud, by Lord Alfred Tennyson is thought to be the inspiration for this Waterhouse painting.
