The Lady of Shalott (1858). William Maw Egley (British, 1826-1916). Oil on canvas. Museums Sheffield.

This painting illustrates Lord Alfred Tennyson’s poem The Lady of Shallot, based on the legend of King Arthur. The story tells of a cursed woman trapped in a tower who is only allowed to watch the world through reflections in a mirror. The scene captures the moment when the knight Lancelot appears. The Lady of Shallot looks out of the window and is then condemned to die.
