Isabella and the Pot of Basil, by John White Alexander
Understanding the background story is key to fully grasping the moment depicted in this painting, however there are some clues that may lead you to piece together a scenario that is plausible and very similar to the moment from the literary source illustrated.
The key is to figure out what is in the basil pot.
-What kind of mood does the setting evoke?
-What is she doing? With her right hand? With her lips?
-Where is the pot positioned in relation to her?
I'll share with you the background story and a statement of the kind of moment depicted soon! If you can't wait, and want to "google" the story, go for it :-)
