The Model's screen
MESSAGE:
In the background of photos of Waterhouse working on Song of Spring Time the model's screen is an interesting feature.
When the pattern is looked at closely it is a waterlily pattern. When that pattern is compared to the waterlilies in Ophelia 1894 there is a striking resemblance in some areas.
The other interesting thing about these photos is that there are two photos taken at what appears to be the same time but when you look at the furniture it has been re-arranged for each shot. This may indicate the photo is for publicity purposes.
RESPONSES:
Interesting observations, Neil ... thanks so much.
One of the photographs can be seen at the bottom of
this page.
I wonder if Dr. Physick has more information to share about the pictures?
