The Lady of Shalott, 1853
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pen and ink masterpiece by Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal, also known as Lizzie. This enchanting artwork measures 19.7x24.8 cm and is held in a private collection. The image depicts the haunting tale of The Lady of Shalott, inspired by Alfred Lord Tennyson's famous poem. In this scene, we see the lady herself weaving at her loom while gazing into a mirror that reflects the outside world. Her delicate hands gracefully move across the loom as she patiently waits for something or someone. The intricate details in Siddal's drawing are remarkable; every stroke seems to convey emotions and tell a story. The knightly figure on horseback can be seen through the reflection in the mirror, symbolizing Sir Lancelot's arrival that ultimately leads to tragedy for our protagonist. Siddal captures the essence of Pre-Raphaelite art with her attention to detail and use of symbolism. The crucifix hanging above the lady signifies her isolation from society due to an ancient curse that forbids her from looking directly out of her tower window. This print serves as a timeless reminder of love, longing, and sacrifice depicted through Siddal's exceptional talent. It transports us back to Astolat where Elaine resides within these walls waiting for destiny to unfold before her eyes - forever trapped between reality and illusion.
