Lady of Shalott, Pre-Raphaelite Waterhouse painting
Tells the story of Lady Shalott who had an unrequited love for Sir Lancelot:
The work is a representation of a scene from Lord Alfred Tennyson’s 1832 poem of the same name, in which the poet describes the plight of a young woman (loosely based on Elaine of Astolat, who yearned with an unrequited love for the knight Sir Lancelot) isolated under an undisclosed curse in a tower near King Arthur’s Camelot.
