Woman Waiting (by John Everett Millais) Card

This design features a painting by the English artist Sir John Everett Millais, who was one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. In the painting, a young woman, the central figure, is depicted seated on wooded steps in a verdant, natural setting, possibly a garden or a meadow, with an expression that suggests she is deep in thought. Her gaze is directed off into the distance, perhaps waiting for someone or something that holds great significance in her life. The delicate play of light and shadow on her face adds to the atmosphere of quiet introspection. The young woman is wearing a pink flowing dress and bonnet. Her posture, slightly leaning back with her arms gently clasped, further enhances the sense of her waiting and yearning. The image invites viewers to ponder the story behind the woman's patience and the emotions she might be experiencing. Millais captures a universal human experience, making the painting resonate with anyone who has ever felt the pangs of anticipation. The painting is a testament to Millais' ability to blend technical brilliance with profound emotional expression. The original work was painted by John Everett Millais in 1854.
