A wet-wash watercolour of Alfred, Lord Tennyson!

Wistful poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson sits pensively at his desk, quill poised over the parchment, surrounded by scattered papers and half-empty inkwells, as he writes "The Lady of Shalott" in 1832.

His eyes gazing out the bay window at a serene pastoral landscape of rolling hills, misty valleys, and towering trees, with warm golden light spilling in, softening the scene.

Very reminiscent of Turner's ethereal light style, blended with the dreamy, nostalgic quality of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, with delicate, feathery watercolour brushstrokes and subtle wet-wash bleeds evoking a sense of melancholic longing.
