New #chalkart on our front walk right now, loosely based on Waterhouse's 1888 Lady of Shalott; no real resemblance, I know, but it's still sorta recognizable. Pretty pleased to get a white dress looking white on our dark pavement. #Waterhouse #LadyofShalott

i was today years old when i learned that the Lady of Shalott was based on a 13th century short Italian text written by Donna di Scalotta about the Lady of Scalot whose unrequited love for Sir Lancelot killed her.
