"Study For Miranda" is a preparatory work by the renowned British artist John William Waterhouse, who is celebrated for his contributions to the Pre-Raphaelite and Romantic movements. Waterhouse, born in 1849, is best known for his depictions of classical mythology and literary subjects, often featuring ethereal and contemplative female figures. "Study For Miranda" serves as a preliminary exploration for his larger and more famous painting "Miranda – The Tempest," which was completed in 1916 and is based on William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest."

In this study, Waterhouse captures the essence of Miranda, the play's heroine, who is the daughter of the magician Prospero. The character of Miranda is often portrayed as a symbol of innocence and purity, and Waterhouse's depiction aligns with this interpretation. The study likely focuses on Miranda's emotional state and physical posture as she gazes out at the stormy sea, a scene that is pivotal in Shakespeare's narrative as it marks the beginning of the play's dramatic events.

Waterhouse's technique in "Study For Miranda" showcases his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey complex emotions through subtle expressions and body language. The study would have been an essential step in Waterhouse's creative process, allowing him to experiment with composition, lighting, and the overall mood before committing to the final, larger canvas.

The work exemplifies Waterhouse's skill in blending realism with a dreamlike quality, a hallmark of his artistic style. His use of color, light, and texture in the study would have been carefully considered to evoke the tumultuous yet enchanting atmosphere of the scene. "Study For Miranda" not only provides insight into Waterhouse's artistic process but also enriches our understanding of his interpretation of one of Shakespeare's most beloved characters.
