EVELYN DE MORGAN (BRITISH 1855-1919) DESIGN FOR THE LEGEND OF GOOD WOMEN, AFTER GEOFFREY CHAUCER Watercolour and pencil on paper 30 x 45.5cm (11¾ x 17¾ in.); and smaller Together with a figure study in chalk attributed to the artist's husband, the artist and ceramicist William de Morgan (1839-1917) (2) Pencil inscriptions naming the figures reveal the subject of the present watercolour to be Chaucer's Legend of Good Women, where the Prologue opens with the poet's dream of Eros (Amor) and Alcestis. Chaucer's poem narrates the stories of virtuous women from antiquity who suffered for love. This was a favourite source for William Morris and Burne-Jones and the artist may have used the text given in the former's famous Kelmscott Chaucer (1896). The best-known pictorial version is the Morris & Co stained glass panel by Burne-Jones from 1864 of Amor leading Alcestis back from the Underworld, with copies in V&A and William Morris Gallery collections.
