"I am half sick of shadows" said the Lady of Shalott
A woman in a flowing red gown sits at a loom beside a round arched window, hands raised to her head, gazing upward. Beyond the window, a stone bridge crosses a river toward a walled town under a pale sky. A checkered floor, a tapestry with a colorful band on the loom, and a spindle complete the richly detailed interior.
