And at the closing of the day she loosed the chain, and down she lay:  

The broad stream bore her far away, The Lady of Shalott.

 

Twelfth-scale figure of the Lady of Shalott drifting downstream, inspired by the painting by

Waterhouse and the poem by Tennyson.

Her dress is silk and I have simulated the textiles by painting directly onto different fabrics.

The boat is a modified ready-made model.
