She never told her love

WOOLMER, Alfred Joseph (1805-1892)

This image was inspired by Viola’s speech in Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night.

                “[…] she pined in thought,

And with a green and yellow melancholy She sat like patience on a monument, Smiling at grief.”, (Act II: Scene IV)

Woolmer often referred to literary subjects by great writers such as Byron, Milton and Tennyson, which appealed to romantic and gothic tastes.
