It depicts a scene from Creator/AlfredLordTennyson's poem "The Lady of Shalott", in turn based on the myth of [[Myth/ArthurianLegend Elaine of Astalot]]. Elaine is a young noblewoman locked in a tower who is cursed to never see the world outside with her own eyes. Instead, she must weave the scene she sees from a mirror's reflection into a tapestry. However, once she looks upon Sir Lancelot, she is cursed to die.

''The Lady of Shalott'' is a 1905 painting by Pre-Raphaelite founder William Holman Hunt.
It depicts a scene from Creator/AlfredLordTennyson's poem "The Lady of Shalott", in turn based on the myth of [[Myth/ArthurianLegend Elaine of Astalot]]. Elaine is a young noblewoman locked in a tower who is cursed to never see the world outside with her own eyes. Instead, she must weave the scene she sees from a mirror's reflection into a tapestry. However, once she looks upon Sir Lancelot, she is cursed to die.
The scene portrayed in the painting is the moment when she looks at Lancelot and the mirror cracks. Elaine, standing around her circular loom, is entangled in threads while her workplace is upset around her. Surrounding Elaine are various symbols that suggest steadfastness over temptation.
The painting is housed in the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, CT, while an earlier version (where, among other differences, the roundels depict two pictures of Jesus instead) is at the Manchester Art Gallery. Compare ''Art/TheLadyOfShalottWaterhouse'', an earlier painting depicting the end of the legend.

!!Tropes in this painting:
* DisturbedDoves: Surprised by the Lady's actions, two doves in the background fly away from their perch.
* FlowerMotifs: Crushed violets, symbolizing faith, hope, and wisdom, are on the floor.
* GirlInTheTower: We see the tower in which the Lady is ensconced to enact her curse, as well as the mirror showing the reflection of the bright world outside.
* TheOwlKnowingOne: A lamp near the Lady shows owls above sphinxes, suggesting wisdom triumphing over mystery. The lamp is extinguished, because the Lady has not done that.
* ShoutOut: The Lady's room as art of [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Hercules]] and [[Literature/TheBible the Virgin Mary]], who labored through their struggles (unlike Elaine, who gave in).
* TextileWorkIsFeminine: The protagonist of the painting is a tragic maiden cursed to weave a tapestry, which is in progress -- threads fly around her once the curse acts on her.
* WildHair: Perhaps owing to being locked in a tower, the Lady has long, unkempt hair that flies around her once she realizes what's happened.
