Canto III, Verse 201

William Blake after Mary Ann Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the silhouette of a woman from the back, standing with her hands clasped in front. She has a bun hairstyle with a headband and wears a long dress with a high collar. There are intricate carvings or drawings on a rock surface featuring mythical figures. The setting seems to be inside a cave or dimly lit chamber based on the textured background.
