I love all paintings by Waterhouse, and was delighted to find this one and ALL POSTERS, which is a great source for a wide variety of excellent art. I have it in my bedroom to compliment my eclectic romantic-Gothic-Victorian theme. It is dreamy and mystical and transports me back in time. I am going to order a framed one as an upgrade.
