Edward Burne-Jones illustrated this scene from a traditional Scottish ballad. Clerk Saunders tells a tragic love story of lovers separated by death. The painting captures the melancholy mood of the old song.
Burne-Jones frequently turned to medieval ballads and legends for his subjects, creating dreamlike images that reject Victorian realism. This work is part of the collection at Tate Britain in London.
