Lady Of Shallot on Boat JW Waterhouse Fine Art Shower Curtain

John William Waterhouse (1849–1917) The Lady of Shalott 1888, oil on canvas 153 cm (60.2 in). Width: 200 cm (78.7 in). The Lady of Shalott (1888) is one of John William Waterhouse’s most famous works. The Lady of Shalott pictures The Lady who is the main character in Tennyson’s poem, also titled The Lady of Shalott (1842), who is facing her destiny. The Lady has made her way to this small canoe with a few of her belongings. She had been confined to her quarters, not allowed to go outside or even look outdoors. “A curse is on her if she stay,” Tennyson. In the poem, a curse had been put on The Lady, but she defies the rules of the curse to see if she could live outside of her confinement. She is pictured sitting atop her woven tapestry, which showcases Waterhouse’s strong attention to detail. Check out my store for matching bath mat and more!
