Launcelot and the Dead Queen, N. C. Wyeth King Arthur Framed Print (1917)

Launcelot reaches Almesbury half an hour too late. Queen Guenever is dead. He looks at her face and does not weep greatly. He sighs.

For someone who knows grief that does not perform, it only changes the air in the room.

Ready to hang: an 8 × 10 in framed print in a white or black wood frame. At home in a quiet room or reading corner, or as a gift for someone who loves the old sorrowful tales.
