87 cm x 72 cm, Tapestry Panel.
This medieval theme Tapestry is a reproduction of the painting The Lady of Shalott by John William Waterhouse. This painting illustrates Lord Alfred Tennyson’s poem The Lady of Shalott:

Down she came and found a boat
Beneath a willow left afloat,
And around about the prow she wrote
    The Lady of Shalott.

And down the river's dim expanse
Like some bold seer in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance --
With a glassy countenance
    Did she look to Camelot.

And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
    The Lady of Shalott.

Draped over the boat is the tapestry the lady made on an island near King Arthur's Camelot. She was forbidden by the magic to look at the outside world directly. All she could do was to look at the world outside the castle window in the mirror and wave these reflections into a fabric. But she brought a curse on herself by looking at Sir Lancelot directly . With her right hand she holds the chain of the boat ready to let it go. Her life will end up shortly after the boat floats down the river.
