Rosamund was a mistress of Henry II of England. She was the subject of
many legends and stories.

'Influenced by Pre-Raphaelite painters, Waterhouse painted in a distinctive,
dreamily romantic style many beautiful women in an allegoric ambiance and
historic context.'

'It is worthwhile to mention that although it has only been recently that
Waterhouse's work has resurfaced into the mainstream, he was, in his
own lifetime, considered to be one of the greatest artist's of his day.'
