John Everett Millais - Waking 1865
Oil on canvas
Lent by Perth Museum & Art Gallery, Perth & Kinross Council, Scotland to the Tate
Millais posed his second daughter Mary for this image of a young girl sitting bolt upright, stirred by birdsong. It represents a blended stylistic approach: the heavy knitted blanket and its tasselled edge bunched around the bed frame rendered with Pre-Raphaelite precision, the decorative bands of colour and abrupt cropping more indicative of Aestheticism.
