"The White Mayde of Avenel" is a painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist Anthony Frederick Sandys, completed in 1902. This artwork is notable for its representation of a character from Sir Walter Scott's historical novel "The Monastery," published in 1820. The novel is set in the time of the Reformation in Scotland and features the White Lady of Avenel, a ghostly figure who is bound to the Avenel family and appears at pivotal moments within the story.

Sandys' painting captures the ethereal and haunting presence of the White Mayde, embodying the Pre-Raphaelite movement's fascination with medieval themes, mysticism, and the supernatural. The White Mayde is depicted with a ghostly pallor, set against a dark, ambiguous background that enhances her spectral appearance. Her attire and the painting's overall style reflect the Pre-Raphaelites' interest in painstaking detail, historical accuracy in costume, and the use of bright, clear colors.

Born in 1829, Anthony Frederick Sandys was associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848 who aimed to reform art by rejecting what they considered the mechanistic approach first adopted by Mannerist artists who succeeded Raphael and Michelangelo. Sandys was known for his elaborate and meticulous technique, as well as his focus on beauty and detail, which are evident in "The White Mayde of Avenel."

The painting is a testament to Sandys' mature style, which often involved the use of chalk and watercolor, mediums that allowed him to achieve the fine detail and texture characteristic of his work. "The White Mayde of Avenel" is a significant piece within Sandys' oeuvre, illustrating his continued engagement with literary subjects and his ability to convey narrative through visual art.
