Original"I am half sick of shadows," said the Lady of Shalott, 1915. "TBH, I'm totally sick of them but that doesn't scan". Waterhouse's image of the Lady of Shalott moping around just before Lancelot rides into view for the coup de foudre. Spoiler: it doesn't end well for her, though Lancelot does admire her lovely face when she's dead.
Reason
High EV, all the usual blah-blah; you can never have too much Waterhouse or PRB; romantic; sensuous; Diliff can imagine her whipping up a decadently rich and scrumptious chocolate mousse. Edge of the canvas is still in the image; what do we think of that? I don't mind it.
