Room 12
Returning to the museum you enter a room at the head of the frescoed salons.
The ceramic panel with a vase of flowers is possibly a joint experiment by the young William Morris, William de Morgan and Edward Burne-Jones.
Lawrence Alma-Tadema
By the window is the Portrait of Charles Deschamps and his wife by Lawrence Alma-Tadema, given as a gift to the painter’s French patron.
Arthur Melville
The watercolour with the Java Dancers (1888), also by Melville, portrays the first oriental ballet performance at the Royal Albert Hall. Melville considered this painting to be one of his most important works.
