A Naiad 水仙女
Painting Date: 1893
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: Unknown
Location: Private Collection

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”
(引自本图1893年展览时Henry Blackburn 所写的注释)

The Lady of Shalott 夏洛特女子
Painting Date: 1894
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 142 x 86 cm
Location: City Art Gallery, Leeds, England

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

St Cecilia 圣赛西莉娅
Painting Date: 1895
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 46 x 77 in
Location: Private Collection
圣赛西莉娅生活在约公元前230年,她因发誓终身信仰基督教并保持贞节而闻名。圣赛西莉娅节是11月22日。
本图1895年展出时附有丁尼生的The Palace of Art中的诗句

'In a clear walled city on the sea.
Near gilded organ pipes - slept St. Cecily'.

沃特豪斯尝试用本图传达某种中世纪的感觉,而他也的确做到了。富有装饰性的画面,还有一点宗教画的味道。几乎没有现实主义和日常生活的痕迹。
