"Study for The Lady of Shalott" is a preparatory work by the renowned British painter John William Waterhouse, created as part of the process leading to his famous 1888 painting "The Lady of Shalott." Waterhouse, associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was known for his depictions of women from mythology and literature, characterized by their rich detail and vibrant color. This study reflects the artist's meticulous approach to composition and his fascination with Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem of the same name, which tells the tragic story of Elaine of Astolat, a woman cursed to weave images on her loom without ever looking directly at the outside world.

The study captures the moment of the Lady of Shalott's fateful decision to gaze upon Sir Lancelot through a mirror, breaking her curse's constraints and setting in motion the events leading to her demise. Waterhouse's portrayal is imbued with a sense of foreboding and captures the ethereal beauty of the lady, surrounded by the rich textures and patterns of her confinement. The final painting, which hangs in the Tate Britain, is considered one of Waterhouse's masterpieces and a quintessential example of Pre-Raphaelite art.

As a study, this piece offers insight into Waterhouse's creative process, showcasing his initial explorations of light, color, and form that would inform the larger, more detailed work. It is a testament to the artist's dedication to his craft and his ability to evoke emotion and narrative through his art. The study is an important piece for scholars and enthusiasts of Waterhouse's work, as it provides a window into the development of one of the most iconic images of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
