editPerhaps a mention of Muriel Foster as the probable model? Don't ask me to hunt down references though. Andplus 10:53, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Original Research problem
editThe original research I am referring to is the following line (and lines afer it)
"Although the painting is typically Pre-Raphaelite in composition and tone, its central framing, as well as the linear echoes between the leaves of the overhanging trees and the hair and creases of the lady's dress and tapestry, betray formal and spatial elements borrowed from the earlier Neo-Classical style."
This is subjective. Who says it is Pre-Raphaelite? Who says its framing (etc) borrows from Neo-classical? The person who wrote the lines in this article? God? Obama? Who? True or not, you can't just write things like that and stick a Q.E.D. on it, and walk away. You have to back it up. Please don't remove the original research tag without correcting this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.61.158.238 (talk) 05:05, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
