Sir Launcelot in the Queen`s Chamber 

This dramatic black and white drawing by Dante Gabriel Rossetti depicts a scene from the Arthurian legend. Sir Launcelot, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table, is shown peering through a window at Guinevere, Arthur's queen, asleep in her chamber. The scene is charged with tension as Launcelot's love for Guinevere is forbidden, and the image evokes the themes of betrayal, love, and honor that are central to the Arthurian myth. The artist's signature style is evident in the meticulous detail and the use of line to create a sense of both beauty and melancholy.
