Wall Tryst 1905

"Wall Tryst," painted in 1905 by Edward Burne-Jones, depicts a woman in a long, flowing robe standing in a shadowy alcove. She leans towards a wall, perhaps pressing her ear to it, while a small tree stands to her right. The muted greens and browns of the artwork contribute to the intimate, secretive atmosphere. This watercolor, likely part of a larger series, captures the Pre-Raphaelite style, known for its attention to detail and symbolism, with a focus on love and longing. Burne-Jones's work is often associated with Arthurian legends and romantic narratives, and "Wall Tryst" exemplifies his exploration of these themes.
