The veil 

"The Veil" is a portrait painting by the English artist William Powell Frith. The painting features a young woman in a dark dress, with her veil thrown back over her head. The woman's face is visible, and she gazes directly at the viewer, her expression is one of calm and serenity. The painting is a prime example of Frith's skill as a portraitist. It captures the sitter's likeness with great precision, and the artist uses light and shadow to create a sense of depth and dimension. The painting is likely from the Victorian era, as it is a romantic and idealized depiction of a woman. It could be interpreted as a representation of femininity, grace and beauty, or a portrait of an individual sitter.
