About the painting: Also known as 'Hylas with a Nymph'.
“水之仙女刚刚上岸,她从树干的缝隙中窥看裹着豹皮的熟睡的青年。画面中几乎无处不在的红色和绿色的对比(俗称红配绿)被湖水反射出的蓝色减弱,并呈现出相当的协调”

根据丁尼生的The Lady of Shalott:
She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces thro' the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look'd down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
