John William Waterhouse's 1888 painting "The Lady of Shalott" depicts the titular character from Alfred Tennyson's poem of the same name, floating down a river in a boat. The Pre-Raphaelite style artwork is set in a mystical and atmospheric landscape with the Lady of Shalott, dressed in white and with long flowing hair, appearing forlorn and melancholic as she travels toward her fate. The painting is housed in Tate Britain, London.
