Farewell (2)
John Everett Millais
Wood engraving by the Dalziels
6¾ x 4¼ inches
Anthony Trollope, Orley Farm, facing, II, 314.
A final embrace to close the book, which finishes on a note of parting and loss. The illustration demonstrates Millais’s interest in abstract effects, combining portraiture and gesture with the monumental forms of the women’s billowing crinolines.
