Eveleen Tennant, later Mrs F.W.H. Myers Possibly 1880

Editor: Here we have George Frederic Watts' portrait of Eveleen Tennant, later Mrs. F.W.H. Myers. Something about the red cloak against the stormy backdrop gives it a feeling of romantic drama. What do you make of it? Curator: It's as if she's a figure emerging from a myth, isn't it? Watts often sought to capture inner beauty, and Eveleen seems to be framed by both the turbulent world and her own steadfastness. I wonder, is she sheltering from a storm or facing it head-on? Editor: That's a beautiful reading! I hadn't considered that tension between inner strength and external chaos. Curator: Art, at its best, is like a mirror reflecting our own interpretations. Editor: Definitely gives me a lot to consider. Thanks!
