"Then to her tower she climb'd, and took the shield," painted in 1913 by Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale, is a beautiful depiction of a woman stepping out of a stone tower, clutching a shield emblazoned with blue and gold dragons. The artwork’s soft, romantic tones and the woman’s elegant posture suggest a narrative of courage and strength, perhaps referencing a tale of chivalry or heroism. This piece exemplifies the artist's talent for capturing delicate, feminine beauty amidst scenes of strength and power.
