Provenance
The painting was made sometime between early July and early October 1871, when DGR and Mrs. Morris were together at Kelmscott Manor, which DGR had taken as joint tenant with Morris the previous May. The picture shows the manor in the distant background and the river Thames in the nearer background. The painting is perhaps glossed by the ballad that DGR wrote at the same time, then titled as this picture but now known as “A Death-Parting”.
The background of the painting is the Thames, with a distant view of Kelmscott Manor and a country church. DGR made two sketches for the background, one with the two buildings, the other of foliage.
Production History
Executed in 1871, the picture was not sold until 1877 when it was purchased by J. A. Turner (see Fredeman, Correspondence, 77. 119 ).
