Frank Cadogan Cowper, often considered the last of the Pre-Raphaelites, brings a mythical calm to this depiction of Nimüe, the legendary Lady of the Lake. Seated gracefully in a field of poppies by still waters, the enchantress is draped in a lustrous white gown that gleams like moonlight. Her flowing hair and serene expression evoke timeless beauty and mystical power, while a gentle fawn rests at her feet, heightening the scene’s symbolic purity and connection to nature. Cowper’s attention to intricate detail and idealized medieval themes blends high Romanticism with Pre-Raphaelite symbolism.
