This room has many of the highlights of the Collection and several works by revered Pre-Raphaelite masters including Millais, Holman-Hunt and Hughes. There is also a stunning mixed-media Orientalist work by John Frederick Lewis and a dramatic night-scene by John Atkinson Grimshaw. The Collection is particularly strong in Scottish pictures and here you can see a romantic work by John Quiller Orchardson The Queen of Swords inspired by Scott's novel The Pirate. There are major examples by two of the rarer and more obscure followers of the Pre-Raphaelite movement—Edward Rainford, for whom this Hotspur and the Courtier is the only known signed work by the artist, and Walter Howell Deverall, whose Twelfth Night features a self-portrait and that of Rossetti and their muse Elizabeth Siddall. Through the door into the Library you can see Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones's St George and the Dragon: The Princess tied to a Tree one in a series of seven depicting this famous legend.
