'And seeing her so sweet and servicable,
Geraint had longing in him evermore
To stoop and kiss the tender little thumb,
That crost the trencher as she laid it down'

Whilst little is known of Alice Scott, she exhibited seven works at the Royal Academy between 1880 and 1889. She largely took her subjects from the works of the Romantic poets, titling them with quotes relating to the scene illustrated. This work depicts the moment in the third episode of Lord Tennyson’s Arthurian poem, The Idylls of The King, when Geraint realises his love for Enid and decides to marry her.
