Cressida 

"Cressida" is a captivating painting by Edward John Poynter, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The artwork showcases a young woman, likely Cressida, a character from Shakespeare's "Troilus and Cressida," peering through a parted curtain with a melancholic gaze. Her delicate features, rendered with meticulous detail, and the sumptuous fabrics of her attire convey a sense of both beauty and vulnerability. Poynter's use of soft, luminous colors and intricate brushstrokes creates a visually captivating and emotionally resonant piece, drawing the viewer into the world of the painting.
