专家说明

The present watercolour illustrates a line from Edmund Spenser's Prothalamion, the wedding verse he composed for the daughers of the Earl of Worcester, Elizabeth and Katherine Somerset, on the occasion of their joint wedding in 1596. Brickdale has depicted one of the nymphs encountered by the poet emerging from the Thames as they pick flowers for the two brides.
