This black and white illustration, "The Lady of Shalott," by Charles Robinson depicts a scene from the poem of the same name by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The image features a woman, cloaked in drapery and with her hair flowing in a stream of water, weaving at a loom. She is gazing intently at a distant city, suggesting a sense of isolation and longing. The scene is atmospheric and evocative, referencing the Lady's tragic fate, forever bound to her tower. Robinson's use of light and shadow effectively creates the mood of the poem, making this image a captivating and memorable depiction of a classic literary figure.
