Josh got me this awesome necklace as my mother's day gift. Can anyone ID what painting the image is taken from?

"Knight with Child" by Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale
found here:
http://faculty.pittstate.edu/~knichols/flaming.html#brickdale

There's tons of her other stuff online, she was of the Pre-Raphaelite school of painting and so a lot of Arthurian/Renaissance themes. (She appears to have done a good job on the Italian Renaissance ones, at first glance.)

That's a beautiful necklace!

Thanks! Now to find a print. I had assumed that this was a detail from some much larger painting and I'm interested to see that its not.

And, yeah, pre-raphaelite's rule.
