Love's Shadow by Frederick Sandys, 1867

Love's Shadow is an 1867 painting by Pre-Raphaelite artist Frederick Sandys. It was modeled by actress Mary Emma Jones, Sandys' common-law wife. The figure is richly adorned and biting the blooms from some blue violets, which are a symbol of love and devotion in Victorian floriography.[1]
