| Description |
English: «The hero is unmistakably Watts himself. No less certain is the identification of the frail young girl who delicately embraces him as Ellen Terry, the inclination of her head the very embodiment of yeilding tenderness. The middle-aged knight leans on his last and gently looks down at her, protectively, with a kind of sad satisfaction; satisfied perhaps at being able to sheild her from what he conceived to be the dangers and temptations of her previous life, yet sad precisely because age and long habits of abstinence obliged him to be protector rather than lover. This is a picture full of compassion, a story of two unhappy people who find consolation by ministering to one another's infirmities.» (D. Loshak, "G. F. Watts and Ellen Terry", Burlington Magazine, November 1963, p. 484) (see source) |
