A study for the watercolour of this name in the Leamington Spa Art Gallery (repr. Simon Reynolds, The Vision of Simeon Solomon, 1985, pl. 6). This picture is an early and particularly fine example of a type of composition that Solomon was often to repeat, in which bust-length figures representing vague mystical or symbolist concepts are seen against a night sky scattered with stars. Many are related to the artist's prose poem A Vision of Love Revealed in Sleep (1871), and many harp on the transience of beauty or the fragility of human love. The watercolour was exhibited in 1870 at the Dudley Gallery, Piccadilly, an important forum for 'aesthetic' painters before the advent of the Grosvenor Gallery in 1877, but it was presumably retouched afterwards since it is dated 1871. It inspired three sonnets by John Payne published in his volume Intaglios (1871), and was highly praised by Arthur Symons in his Studies in Seven Arts (1906). As Simon Reynolds notes (op. cit., p. 21 and 102, note 31), another preparatory study, a chalk drawing of 1867, is reproduced as the frontispiece in T.Earle Welby, The Victorian Romantics, 1929
