Original Description
Anne Isabella Thackeray Ritchie posed for The Lady of Shalott (1870-1880) by Anne J. Pertz, an evocative Pre-Raphaelite-inspired oil painting conveying Tennyson’s tragic Arthurian heroine mid-flight from her cursed tower. Pertz masterfully blends Romantic melancholy with Pre-Raphaelite precision—delicate chiaroscuro illuminates the lady’s flowing drapery against a stormy landscape, her face etched with desperation as she grips the boat’s chain. The painting stands as a rare surviving work by Pertz, a lesser-known but skilled Victorian female artist, offering a softer yet equally haunting counterpart to Waterhouse’s later interpretations. Its poetic symbolism and textile-like brushwork align with the Brotherhood’s medieval revivalism, while the intimate scale (50 x 72 cm) invites contemplative viewing. Today, it serves as a poignant artifact of 19th-century literary painting and women’s contributions to the movement.
For a refined interior, hang The Lady of Shalott in a dimly lit study or lounge to amplify its dramatic narrative. Optimal above a Victorian escritoire or within a Gothic-revival alcove, its muted ochres and slate blues harmonize with jewel-toned velvet upholstery or aged brass accents. Choose a carved gilt frame—4-5 cm wide—to honor its era without overwhelming smaller rooms. In modern spaces, pair it with minimalist Scandinavian furniture for contrast; the painting’s emotional depth will anchor neutral walls. Scale matters: Position it at eye level (145-150 cm from the floor) as a solo focal point above a low credenza, avoiding cluttered galleries. For offices, place it near reading nooks to inspire creative reflection, balanced with Edison bulb lighting to echo its warm undertones.
