WATTS (1817-1904)

by

W. LOFTUS HARE

Illustrated with Eight Reproductions in Colour

(Frontispiece)

A little child lying in the lap of the winged figure of Death.
Death, ever to Watts a silent angel of pity, "takes charge of
Innocence, placing it beyond the reach of evil." It was first
exhibited at the Winter Exhibition of the New Gallery, 1896,
and was given to the nation in 1897. It is now at the Tate
Gallery.]
