Waterhouse Beautiful Woman Without Mercy Postcard

John William Waterhouse La belle dam sans mercie postcard. Oil painting on canvas from 1893. Pre-Raphaelite painter John William Waterhouse regularly drew on literary themes, and The Beautiful Woman Without Mercy is inspired by an 1820 poem published by the English poet John Keats. A knight in shining armour gazes down into a beautiful woman’s eyes as she sits in a lush copse of trees. The girl wears a purple dress with white polka dots on the skirt and a pink heart on the sleeve. Her hair is dark blonde, and she is surrounded by beautiful flowers and dark green grass. A great gift for fans of J.W. Waterhouse, the Pre-Raphaelites, Keats, and Romantic English painting.
