George Fuller美国, 1822–1884可否一睹真容?
正对公众展出。由谁担保,见下文。
This painting shows the heroine of George Eliot's poem The Spanish Gypsy. In the poem Fedalma must choose between family duty and the prospect of a happy marriage with a wealthy duke ("Women in the Literary Marketplace," Cornell Univ. Library Web site). Fuller chose to show her holding a gold necklace, a gift from the duke that symbolized the splendor he could offer her.
