CHOOSING 1864
George Frederick Watts RA (1817-1904)

This delicate yet sensuous portrait shows the seventeen-year-old actress Ellen Terry
choosing between the camellias, which despite their luscious appearance
have no scent, and the violets in her hand which are far humbler in appearance
but smell sweeter. The choice, which is symbolic of that between worldly vanities
and higher virtues, had a personal significance for the artist and the sitter. 1864
was the year in which Terry gave up the stage to marry Watts, thirty years her senior,
and to be educated by him. The marriage lasted barely a year, and despite Watts's
disapproval, Terry eventually returned to the stage.
