The Queen of the May (1879)

Medium: oil

Exhibited: Royal Academy, 1879

Athenaeum, 31 May 1879:

We are much less attracted by The Queen of the May (1041) [than by Execution of the Duc d’Enghien], which shows a party of rough fellows, comprising one dressed as a clown, who lead an unlovely girl in a common cart, This is far from being one of the painter’s best pictures.
