The Soul of the Rose (by John William Waterhouse) Magnet

This design features a painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse (1849–1917). It shows an elegant young woman wearing a dark blue dress. She is standing in an Italian-style garden and holding a pink rose to her nose as he admires its beautiful scent and aroma. The lady has red hair that is neatly tied. Her eyes are closed and her mouth is slightly open, almost as though she is imagining a romantic kiss, as she smells the fragrant flower. The pink roses are growing against a wall that surrounds a fine villa: its architecture can be seen in the distance. The original artwork was painted by John William Waterhouse in 1908. The title is inspired by a poem writing by Alfred, Lord Tennyson in the 19th century.
