Description
English: (see source) The present picture is almost certainly the study for the large version of Sir Galahad (Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool) painted c.1865, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1870 and owned by the famous collector of Pre-Raphaelite pictures George Rae. In the catalogue of Rae's pictures, the study was accompanied by the following quotation from Tennyson's poem of the same title; "A gentle sound, an awful sight! Three angels bear the holy grail: With folded feet, in stoles of white, On sleeping wings they sail." The bridge depicted in the picture was based upon Ashness Bridge near Derwentwater.

Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1915, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
