Study for ‘The Lady Clare’: John William Waterhouse

Most people tend to be familiar with the work of John William Waterhouse. His use of mythology and strong female characters has made him one of the leading artists of the Pre Raphaelite movement.

I have always been a fan of his work but more recently I have enjoyed searching out his sketches, which he uses before creating his final paintings. His drawings are as stunning as the final paintings and have warmth about them that make them timeless.
